catman78 Posted April 17, 2018 Posted April 17, 2018 Hi All, 1st attempt building a forge, wish me luck... Few questions. I'm using plans for burner and forge found here: http://zoellerforge.com/airtank.html 1. I need to plug hole where air fitting attaches. Any idea what size fitting it is? 2. Burner pipe total length length with 3/4 stainless burner nozzle. Is it 8" with nozzle? thanks Here's what I have so far. Quote

Mikey98118 Posted April 17, 2018 Posted April 17, 2018 Providing that your burner's mixing tube is a 3/4" pipe, its length is plenty long enough. You asked "Is it 8" with nozzle?" NO; it is at 8" to the end of the mixing tube, just as you have it. The flame retention nozzle extends beyond the end of the mixing tube. You have loads of time to determine the right size plug fitting for the male pipe thread in the first photo because the ceramic blanket, etc., that you will line your forge with will effectively prevent the hole from creating any problems; you may decide you want to use that opening for something later on, so there is no point to being in a hurry. You're doing fine, so far. But you need to add a second circle of bolts in your burner port's tube so that you can aim the burner somewhat within the tube. Why? You will want to be able to point the flame a little offside from your heating parts. Quote
