How to lay out ANY lateral, perfect every time

[@bustsrods]

Dude, genius!!! And thanks for being simple, and relaxed, and yet very thorough! Nice job!

[@trevorblack8120]

it’s a good time when yo know what’s coming next, super easy thank you

[@BadassWeldingVideos]

easy peasies!

[@raydreamer7566]

I used your method on my 4.25 inch pipe and it works with very little clean up grinding to make an AMAZING FIT ! ! ! Thank you .... A great video and thanks again...

[@weldingwood2890]

Damn bro you just simplified it like it was nothing! Awesome job.

[@randyperkins3583]

Great explanation...thanks for sharing the knowledge.

[@xsqd5e7en30]

Thanks for the valuable trade knowkedge. It helps when I scab some fitter work.

[@alonsoiniguez2239]

Great Video man! I found it’s a lot easier using the same piece of angle iron to do your layout just longer with the tip cut at a 45 degree to make it easier and not need two people, also if you tack a piece of round rod or scrap metal to the edge at the inside at the opposite quarter mark from the one you mention it holds your degree and you can do your layout comfortably. Thank you for showing this awesome trick 🤟🏽🤟🏽

[@MrFrogwitch]

Fuckin brilliant. Wish i had this at work today damn would have saved me a fucking headache and a half

[@benbencom]

Hey! Welcome back to KZbin. Good to see videos from you again.

[@chrisplayz253]

That s some useful info I ain't a pipe welder but I do pipe fabrication work on occasion nice one from the UK 👍

[@erisakiko1127]

a simple explain for how this trick works is using fixed dimension . when cut to the point on small tube . it is the same as you stick this point on larger tube . note that , this method not only works with round pipe , it also works with whatever thing :))) thanks for video

[@noelmartin2398]

That's a good accurate way of doing i use template paper wrap it around the small pipe shape it with a Sissors to fit perfectly against larger pipe then slide it back and Mark smaller one bobs your uncle Noel from ireland

[@erisakiko1127]

this tip is very useful when working with bended pipe . because not easy to wrap paper around it . thanks for your comment :)))

[@KingRanchDually43]

That was the easiest most efficient way I've ever seen it done

[@chrisdevine4448]

Not a pipe fitter but would work great for in field patterns for insulators metaling or cladding pyrogel hard to get good patterns as that stuff is never round when it goes on tight

[@martinjose7644]

Nice idea

[@williampedroza3737]

The term for this is "projection". I have been using it as a pipefitter for years. Can also be applied to other things not just pipe. When cutting notches on anything to make pieces fit into place.

[@BadassWeldingVideos]

well shit, you should have made a video of it back then, would have saved me a ton of time

[@robertclaytor5184]

Not trying to argue just clarify... the thicker the pipe wall on the branch the more post cut adjustment will be necessary... wouldn't comment if I hadn't used this method many times myself. This method does work particularly well for making a template once this is accomplished as you suggested. Again thanks for the video

[@haroldmcfalls6724]

Get ready for the genius comments. Good deal man. Thanks for the info. I'll try it

[@MRSTEEL-fd7eg]

THAT PRETTY DARN COOL..... I'M IMPRESSED!!!!!

[@johnmorton7577]

Good idea

[@adameast1226]

If you attached the wire to the angle and let it sticking out , then bend it down and out until it is even with the top of the riser . Then you can put a marker in the middle of the angle at the back . Move the angle around the bigger pipe with the wire touching the header and the marker will mark the riser at the same time

[@BadassWeldingVideos]

I like it....

[@MattsARocknRolla]

Wow that’s the fastest I’ve seen anyone layout a pipe

[@joelong2929]

That’s a great quick and easy way have to use that in the shop next time I have to do a branch

[@BadassWeldingVideos]

there is a better trick for branches... i will see if i can get it uploaded

[@florenciocalis9055]

you make it so simple , its amazing, can you show some videos about double rolling miter.

[@fittergrips2010]

You can mark both pipes at the same time both ends of the rod

[@joe2146]

Parallel line development pipe fitting 101 fish mouth nice job

[@KKnockk]

Why draw all the lines? Rather than using a welding rod, should you not just use that piece of angle iron (sharpened to a point at one end) to transfer the information?

[@robmckennie4203]

i believe you're going to distort the geometry more the higher the "stylus" is off the surface of the pipe, you're going to be projecting the points for a bigger pipe down onto the smaller pipe. you could mitigate this by setting the point right at the surface of the pipe, but it will only be accurate for that size of pipe. makes me think that there may be a hole in the market for an adjustable tool for doing this, hmmmm.....

[@BadassWeldingVideos]

Such a good idea worldtube just made that video

[@drunkmike9943]

Just remember when you go to cutting don't cut on the line leave the line so that the fit is a lil to tight so then you can use your grinder to get it fine tuned for a perfect fit.

[@jasonhenderson2405]

Can you show start to final cut and fit up? I'm doing a job with a 6×6 on 30 degrees lateral. I tried this method today and something didn't go right for me.

[@BadassWeldingVideos]

This is for laterals and headers. Would be ALMOST impossible to do on pipe that is the same diameters

[@BadassWeldingVideos]

Send me an email. I have the ordanice for that layout in the truck if you want me to send it to you guide.jt@gmail

[@SKsatipur3735]

Thanks

[@robertclaytor5184]

There is a problem with this method... for a proper full penetration weld the INSIDE of the lateral must match. Your method will require trial and error adjustment with a grinder to accomplish this... no longer a 30 min job. Thanks for the video anyway

[@BadassWeldingVideos]

its only off on the ears, a little grinding and its tits... no shit perfect every time. done it enough to say it works for certain

[@theshauny]

Robert Claytor I’m with you this would be good in some scenarios but you still need to know how to geometric develop a wrap around

this video is a response to this video, where some union dude tries to SELL you this same info kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3bcqWaQZdWmaNU. he does everything except show you how to do it

[@elvergalarga-jt9rx]

Badass bro

[@ExtremeBlastoise]

Why not use the angle iron to get the distances from the main pipe and skip drawing all those lines and using the stick rod?

[@BadassWeldingVideos]

try it, wont work.

[@adameast1226]

If he were to tack a long tig wire to the top of the angle, leave a foot sticking off one side and bend it down at the end and then back strait out to where it was even with the top of the pipe, then at the back ,bend it up and over like a candy Kane and cut it off about 3 inches above the pipe, tape a sharp to it. Then you can move the angle around the pipe with the wire touching the header, and it will mark the riser at the same time....your welcome

[@lxmzhg]

I weld a rod along either of the two edges of the angle iron (not the top of the angle). This way I don't have to draw any lines nor do I need a helper, and it is more accurate. edit: The rod is of course long enough to reach the other pipe.

[@robertclaytor5184]

...especially when pipes are equal diameters

There is a faster and easier way than this but I much rather use math and a wrap around. I would probably use this if I couldn't figure it out. This is great when you ha e a helper that you wouldn't trust to lay out while you weld.
