Olet Welding - Part One - The Fit Up 

👇WeldTube Store👇 www.weldlife.com

Props to this young bruh. Killing it at 19.

It’s impresive how much information I gained from this video, can’t wait for the second part, keep up the great work guys! 🔥

One thing he didn't do was use center finder to find center of the pipe after 2 holded it.

Great job guys. I like these joint fitter/welder videos. Helps me as a fitter to know what my fitter needs and not wants

Thanks for the video guys! Very instructive for me

Hey man, you are way ahead of where I was at 19, pretty cool. I started at a fab shop when I was 19 and I wound up running the place several years later. Good luck in the future..

I've been a fitter since I was 22. Everything from sky scrapers to boilers. This is good stuff. You could do saddles, orange peels, and branches. Good stuff

Awesome vid guys 😁I trained as a pipe welder but never got this kind of instruction, very informative thanks for the info. 😆

Nice best simple explanation firme gracias por el video

Hell yeah good video

VERY GOOD JOB!

Good job young brother!

Good content just add my two cents, on bare pipe I always use two squares, one on the olet and one on the pipe. Leave a slight gap and the top to allow for the heat to draw the fitting way faster and consistent, then use a level to double check your two hole and level the fitting. In addition to a wedge it’s nice to keep a couple of 8-10” long pieces of pipe (1/2”, 3/4”, 1” diameter) with threads on one side and square cut on the other to thread in the olet and use a bit of leverage to help keep tacks from popping when only using a wedge. You can also use the square cut end of those pieces in weldolets the same size to help fit them. I also like to use a center finder to make punch marks for layout of the fitting and for reference later. Nothing wrong with what he taught though multiple ways to fit up the same fitting, good video

Nice vid, young or not at least someone put out a video for beginners to have some sort of idea of what to do. Nice job dude.👍👍👍

I see you bro! Represent! GRIND!

Superrrrrrrrrrrrr, Mind blowing

Question for ya, how did he build his 3/32 spacing tool out of rod? Like did he tack it together? Or do you know of somewhere that sells spacing tools. Because rather then always finding rod is like to keep a quick tool on me or in my tool setup at all times. Thanks for letting me know ahead of time to anyone.

good job guys

Y’all take it easy on the guy. When I left HP he was still a helper and that was about 7 months ago. The fact he could grind the pipe without getting into it shows he’s come a long way. Lol. Demo piece or not, should do it as if it’s going into production tho. Pick up bad habits it leads to your work habits.

I level out the weldolet too and soapstone the outside

He pointed to the wrong hole @1:47

We were classmates last year at hcc. Mr Kirk was our instructor

How can he be a fitter at 19? That’s apprentice age, but good for him he’s getting a head start on life

Sometimes a treadolet may not be threaded straight in we had made nipples to thread in and level the nipple.

thank you master

I don't got a center finder so for small enough pipes I use a square and a level. Just butt the square handle against the side of the pipe while the scale part is on top of the pipe. Make sure the square is level with the world and make a mark on the radius of the pipe.

To your fitter, quick little tip, use your center finder, get a compass set it to the I.D. of your thread-o-let, run your compass to mark your pipe. Good job using the punch. Also use a threaded nipple and use a "torpedo level." Leave the nipple in so the welder can check his level during and post weld. Keep on learning young man. Oh, also, never pull tape from top of a raised face flange unless you take in consideration for the face of the flange, that slip on looked like a 150# so it's 1/16".

need to check the first pair of tacks after making the the second pair of tacks. The level isn’t exactly where you left it when you come back to it and you can correct by welding the high side of the fit up first.

I thought the first step before anything was checking the print? I’m cornfused as hell meow. Another good tip is to check the print and know what’s going on before you prep and cut the hole🤦‍♂️😂😂😂. I’m also a side line one holer! 👀

Magnífico

Great fit and video 💯🔥

First time i got chewed out by qc was cause i didn't break down the wall on a thredolet. Where was this video when i needed it lol

Informative video, thanks. Although how you manage to do anything working in imperial untis perplexes me!

Thanks

what is the difference between an olet and weldolet?

use a small square to center o-let at 12" to center top dead center use a center finder mark 2 spots either side of 12' mark draw a line x marks the spot continue

Im also pipe fitter student i have 1 question how he can find the center without mark it

Nice video, massive gap yeah!

How do you know that weldolet is perfectly in the centre. A centre finder or level off the side and measure in the radius is needed? Also when measuring out the foot use a square off the pipe to get an accurate measurement. Neat job but try show all this for people who have come to learn. This is not a good video for the pipeys out there

Come, you guys are good

Cool

Solute, 19 already be a pipe fitter 👍🏻

Yeah there young

nice

Yes sir double og triple og quadruple og

What is the name of that tool? Minute 6:27

Kool

Didn’t center find or level the olet before he marked it out..

what is your location. los angeles here

Check make sur everything is good double check triple check it’s good for it’s all good lol

I remember i tested at HP years ago....failed the thin wall stainless pipe lol

It’s easier to weld the thing on and tap it afterward. You can make a tapper out of pipe fittings from Home Depot. Hole is cleaner and it takes less time.

Rather than all the prep for the torch why didn't you just cut it with a hole saw and how about working it with a center head when it's two hold

👍👍👍👍

Makes it harder than it looks

a fitter and a welder to weld that? is this a union job? ryobi tape measure, barf.

The music in the back ground sounds familiar like SPM 😂 but good video

Tacuachesssss lol

Hole saw is better for small bore holes in sch 40 CS.

Good stuff

Done a bunch of these but 5p

The only time tig weld o-lets is if they are stainless.

Torpedo level is way more accurate than measuring. You can get what looks perfect with a square but when you check with a good level it could be out some.

this some good advise

Not a bad basic teaching to get the jist but needs more meat for teaching instruction. Center finder or using a level and square for the center is big especially during prefab in a plant. Btw safety queer would have a field day in an industrial plant grinding that socket 😂.

🤗😍👍

So many extra steps. You need a level and a mig machine. It literally takes 1 min to put a fitting on. I do it everyday

Fuck being a fitter, I’m a pipe welder son

I need a job sir

hola

I am febricoturs

Lol I always laughed when new hires come in and complain that we fit and weld our own crap. I don’t have the time to wait on a “fitter”. And if you speed up a little when running your torch you won’t have as much metal crawling back up on you

I don't understand one hole or two hole, is there not 8 holes in the flange

Good video but what happen to the safety first???? Why is he grinding the olet in his hand you can easily cut your fingers in a split second he is using the grinder with one hand only. And second thing remember to keep your hand protection all time.

такими темпами ничего не построить и не заработать

first??

slip on flange and that's not how you pronounce your last name.

Hp dont pay shit

You don't level up the olet

That's a shit cut,you want to clean your tip

You can tell he is a little green. He did a ok job but did not find center. Don’t be on RU-vid eyeballing measurements you are going to teach young fitters bad habits.

Eyeball the dimension? It doesn't have to be perfect because it's not a production piece? Thank God. How did he center his hole? And punching the outline of your hole is a waste of time, especially when you're reference line is a marker 1/2" thick. Preheating the hole on pipe that thin is unnecessary. That "c" curve on the sock-o-let is called a saddle. The "90 square" is a 2ft. framing square. And hi-lo is an industry term for internal misalignment. How can people looking for good information really benefit from this? Good initiative, bad judgment. Next time get a real pipe fitter, not someone who's been a "fitter" for no more than a year and decide to put him on your channel cuz he's your friend.

Terrible fit really.

Tbh instead of cutting that it would’ve been better with a mag drill and drill into size then clean and weld… that torch just makes a mess and you’re not getting that inside clean well..
