Mcmurder77 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I’m having trouble locating black iron pipe in anything greater that 1”. Will galvanized pipe work for the plumbing from my ribbon burner to my blower or do I need to keep searching? Or will 1” Black pipe be sufficient? My forge is going to be a propane tank job following wayne’s plans. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timgunn1962 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Galvanized will be fine to use anywhere it's going to be cool enough to touch. As will black iron, though 1" may be rather small, depending on the size of the burner and the pressure available from the blower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Have you checked a plumbing supply place?---NOT a big box store. Also ask about a "Black pipe nipple" a term for a short length of black iron pipe. I note that Ferguson Plumbing supply, Hillsboro OR, carries 2" black pipe nipples in various lengths. Took me at least a minute to find from here on the NM/Mexico border... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcmurder77 Posted August 14, 2018 Author Share Posted August 14, 2018 I looked at furgeson but it seemed like the prices were higher than I expected($25 for a 2” nipple). I also checked my big box stores. I just wanted to make sure I was looking for the correct thing. Seems a little excessive if I have to spend upwards of $100 just in pipe for a propane tank forge.

ThomasPowers Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I get mine at the ReStore for a couple of dollars. I check every time I go and when they have them cheap I pick them up on spec... However it seems that the question is not about finding them; but about finding them cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Online I was able to find them at furgeson. No big box stores, and I wasn’t 100% sure I was actually looking for the correct thing. I guess I should have phrased my question better and not when I was running on a couple hours of sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
