Please restrict this video to welders only! DO NOT allow supervisors, plumbers/fitters to see this. Otherwise we’ll be getting these gaps more than we already are. Thank you.

Thank you for your service, Andres. You dont know how much it is appreciated.

Thanks for your service Marine!

That bit about freezing ur filler to adjust ur feeding hand; straight gold!

Badass 🔥🔥🔥 Thanks for yours service brother

On big bore pipe like 40",60" 90" some times there's is no choice for the gap you have to improvising do it

I’m a pipe fitter pre apprentice. Our shop had to extend 3, 28 1/2” manhole pieces by 18” using 24” schedule 40 pipe for our plumbers at one of our sites. The manhole was supposed to be 24” diameter but it ended up measuring to 23 1/4”. Foreman had us cut the manhole and then cut the 24” pipe down the length of it so it split, then cut a chunk out, close it with a chain come along, slide the manhole pieces over it, before finally taking off the come along and tacking and welding all said and done once the pieces where fitted up the gap ended up being 1 1/2”. We had three man hole pieces to extend and after the first one had been welded and the other 2 fitted the foreman came out and told us the plumbers were fine in the future with us not matching the Diameter up so long as they still bolted up fine, so hindsight 20/20 but all hands on get we got all three fully welded and ready to be painted by the end of the day

Thank you for your service, Andres.

I admire you’re skill level, nice job!

Thank you for your service! ! Our youngest is a crayon eater aldo. He is on an extended vacation over seas for uncle sam at this time.

Excellent explanation with all the important detailed tips that I've never heard before. Freezing the filler for the feeding is the first time I hear of this trick. Thank you sir. 👍

From El Chuco!!! Hey man, having 30 yrs experience of not being a welder, I can say that TIG was spectacular!!!

Awesome, Anders Moya👍👍 Great job😁😁

Dude this was amazing! Awesome welding job done!

I'm follow almost this same procedure when fixing/welding some agri-machine or else. Except I'm running MIG .035 solid-wire 85-95amps (adjust your feeder to fit the demand/amps), and I'm filling and capping as I go, any all position (any all Gs required to weld in place). If a fluxcore machine is available (with core-shield gas incorporated wired, ALONG with a gas-bottle) then it's even better, and way way way faster ;)

Needed to come here because of my coworkers giving me half in gaps to weld. Thanks broski

I DO THIS IN MY SLEEP BRING ON !!!! THIS IS TOP GUN!!!!!!!

U are every skilled sir thank u for ur service

Rah Devil Dog this video definitely taught me a lot, SEMPER FI!!💪🏼💪🏼

I got the Vulcan Protig 205 today but we couldn’t get a argon bottle so I just stick welded two 7018s

Yesir slick it in there (but real slow like)

Nice job buddy that’s one hell of a gap! Quick question if this was going to be X-rayed I would apply a post gas instead of pulling off so fast to minimise any chance on internal defects.

Can you teach us how to do that kinda huge gap with MIG/Dual Shield Flux and stick? I really struggle with this.

That was awesome!! Great job!!

Também sou soldador aqui no Brasil 🇧🇷. Já trabalhei em Portugal e Espanha voltei ao Brasil.

This is my new position now

Yes sir!!!!

Great performance 💪✨

Great video!

From one jarhead to another job well done simper fi brother

ayyy EP thats my hometown!!!

Love the videos and please Do a pipe video using 308 flux core tig wire .

That's a pack a lunch type job there..how long did this take to finish?

Moya 💪💪💪🎯

i know its hypothetical, but if a fitter ever did this they owe than welder breakfast for at least 3 months, minimum.

Awesome work, thank u so much! Looks like it's all about practice and nothing else. What is the biggest gap for joints/ what is the maximum allowable clearance according to the standards?

Thats not a gap its the grand canyon! Nice weld.

welding gaps with mud rods

Отличная сварка,,

Beast!!

Semper Fi

Watching the video later but.......no gap is impossible...lol

Ive had to fill 1/2” gaps 5/8” gaps due to our precast embeds being offset. And man its a bitch to do it with 8018 5/32 rod but i got er done!

Would have done it with a mig..

Id probably still do it lol

Yes 🙌🏾💓

i did this back in de day for money

Should you do it no. That is a job fpr an arc or large mig. But im ipressed they were able to.

Where can I get that Texas sticker at? Pretty dope

Kolay gelsin 🇹🇷

I’ve seen people get their stencil pulled for welding a gap like this.

So How long did it take you?

For some reason every place I test at loves making me weld gaps this big…bullshit

What is the name of the welding machine?and part #

Should you? No Does it happen? All the time

نعم اني اهم عامل لحام هنا في العراق وعندي خبر ٣ سنوات مستوى f1.f2.f3 .G1.G2.G3 لحيم صهاريج شحنات

Bad ass technic 💪💪💪 hot , hot for the gap 🔥🥵

Salve salve mestre

1/2 in is Fair game no big deal but most fitters can't handle it.
