Vick is back with His bud Marvin to teach you guys some basic pipe-fitting and welding techniques. These are the kind of field welds you can find out in the wild. Marvin is going to fit a spool and Vick is going to do some welding.

Hi man. People assume pipe fitting is easy. Mostly it's confused with plumbing
Please do more pipe fabrication and fitting videos. Its really helpful for me.

Totally awesome fit up..... More please.
Great video and very informative. As a retired pipefitter and Welder of 28yrs hats off to you guys.
Excellent video, all these techniques I used, so I know you definitely know what you're doing. Also this video shows how important it is to have a great fitter and welder relationship
Currently learning how to fit pipe, the more I learn and practice, the more Im loving it. My instructors make us fit pipe and also tack it, learning from these old timers who have been fitting for 25+ years is something else.
Absolutely the best proper training I have seen yet, even the level compensation teaching is something no one, and I mean NO ONE takes time to do. I'm SUBSCRIBED!

Bro you guys are very professional, especially Marvin he speaks very well and explains in detail. I am a metal fabricator but planning on moving forward and learning new things, I recently applied for a position of pipe fitter helper, it would be an honor and great learning experience if I ever work with people like you guys, thanks for the video.

Hi guys! Greetings from Russia! I'm the one of thoses who makes these ISOs and I'm exited of looking you doing your job. Could not stop watching. Always interesting in shop and field activities. You doing great job! Thanx
Straight out of welding school, passed my first bend test and was offered a 1st Welder position. I've got 1 week to cram before my first day on the job. This video has got me pumped to work with fitters and start welding like Victor.
1988/89 l done my Pipe Fabricator trade test...back then no you tube! So this is a great help for rookies🙂. I gave it up in 1994 went back to Technical college. Now l work in a design office as a Piping and Layout Draughtsman,Generating Piping General Arrangements,P&IDs,Isometric drawings etc. I still started on the Drawing board,now l work with AutoCAD. Better €$£ 💘😎
I'm a class 1 welder in the UK and pipe fitter. The way you fab this is so much more detailed than what we would do. I've never used a square to level a bend for instance 🤣 (we just level the face of the bend to the pipe) bit I like the square technique.

Field welders are good in every position angle and weld in many bad uncomfortable areas where as shop welders either weld in jack stands or use a roller lol which takes alot less skill

Pro tip to find the take off for a long radius 90 if you don’t know already. Multiply your pipe diameter by 1.5. I’d recommend getting a pipe trade pro calculator as well. That thing has so many different functions on it.

He tacked the flange on the inside, should have been the outside ... no roll out welds? and it’s a raised face not razorfaced . They bolt up ,they aren’t “welded “ to pumps or other flanges .

Very nice presentation I've learned a lot keep on posting brother good job
I just want to thank you as well as the other instructors in these videos for what you all are doing and helping someone with a very rusty memory like mine who has been away from pipe fitting and the plant and refinery life. It's been 3 years since I've done that type of work because I've been doing Active Duty missions as a Reservist the whole time and shifted my focus. If I don't get selected for another Active Duty mission next go round, I'll be back doing that this type of work. So....I will definitely be watching more of y'all's training videos and taking notes and preparing. Again it's definitely appreciated!
Thanks for this step by step video. Loved the methodology
Great knowledge shared your jargons aligned with the task. Good Job!!!!

You teached me really something useful for my career
Great video!!! I can tig-stick-fcaw pipe etc but I can't fit worth a damn!! I'm trying to get into an apprenticeship just to learn how to do this. thanks for sharing guys

Quite good knowledge,bring some more.very good practicals
Very good, especially that you showed it with the map, it was great, thank you
At 7:24, you have really have to make sure that the long side of the square on the left is on contact with both walls of the elbow, otherwise, it doesn't give you any information (everything will always be square if there is no contact). Just like two points are always aligned, and three points are always co-planar

awesome job. i wish i was a little younger, and able to move like i used to. but i can still watch the videos.
This dope man. Ima watch this til I get it 💯💯
Awesome video guys
21:33 you say the measurements out loud but end up tacking the wrong side. Point being other 2 guys also heard the same information and didn't correct you, it's a good lesson for apprentices/ helpers/ welders to actively be helping and not go on auto pilot and just go with whatever it is the lead man says and to speak up when you think a mistake is made or you have a question. Also I'm not trying to give you shit cause we all fuck up but more for helpers to pay attention and have our backs. Keep up the good work
@TyrellClark-qv4nb

They were doing a good job showing how to read and lay out a run. They did not show having to grind out the tack at 21.33 if they did not catch their mistake before tacking it. You are right it should have been tacked on the other side first. Some welder and fitter that work shut downs at oil refineries travel in pairs because they know how to work together to get the work done. The powers to be at a oil refinery I worked at for 32 years decided to cut the fitters pay to save money. One welder/fitter team that worked our S/D for maybe 12 years along with other welder/fitters teams did not show up for the S/D. The S/D ran long and the powers to be could not understand why it ran long because of the piping crews fell behind??????? Good pipe welding and fitting teams can always find work, you don't screw with one or the others pay and expect to get production. Bean counters are a dime a dozen, always trying to cut someone else pay to make them look good. Then they decided to cut the pipe welders pay also. Then the shit really hit the fan, pipe welders that could not go without busting weld x-rays that meant we had to go back and x-ray every weld they made on the S/D plus clearing all workers out of the x-ray shots areas. we went from working two 12 hour shifts for everyone to working two 10 hour shifts to get all the extra x-rays in. You get what you pay for. Just glad I am retired now and don't have to answer to bean counters!!!
I appreciate the thoroughness
You are like car builders or notorcycles builders you love your work so i like yours content best regards

Very good fabrication ,helpful
Dear wonderful .. great work.. good knowing
Good job brother please make more video for pipe fittings ❤️love from India
I don't know if its a loss in translation, but its called "Raised Face" flange not Razor face. As in, there is a "raised" ring around the inside, as opposed to a "Flat Face" flange. The difference is that on things like pumps, strainers, valves, etc that are cast or made of a soft metal, the torque from bolts and the 1/4" gap on a raised face flange joint would bend and deform the flange, so flat faced flanges solve that problem. The reason why every flange isn't flat faced though is that raised face flanges focus the torque on the bolts to the gasket area of the flange, ensuring a tighter seal.
Fitter gave his welder zero roll outs good job lmao

Awesome video!!!
Super helpful video style
Please do more pipe basics fitting thank u with levels and plumb bobs u are very helpful thank u.
I mean this is a good video but the easiest way to fit a 90 is definitely tacking the sides first and then squaring it but i guess it’s all preference. Love the videos!
Good info premo love the smell of burning metal $$$$$
great tips brotha thanks a lot
buen trabajo limpio y preciso son buenos en lo que hacen buen trabajo melvin..cuidecen y gracias ..
Where I'm from the welders are the fitters ,it's good to learn to fit . Other welders come here and they are used to the fitters tacking everything up for them,they don't always make it.
like the fact that you show everything. good work
Awesome guys! That's one expensive demo!!

Nice job!
I have always put on uniform lands and always fit high low to top of land . you can not fit to O.D. of pipe to O.D. of fitting because a lot of times fittings will not be the same O.D. as the pipe or maybe other fittings . Uniformity of land is key . In a production shop one would fit to roll out welds . You want to weld as few welds in position as possible . A good fitter and welder can make magic in a day
Dat is awesome. Thanks, where I've been working companies now want a person to do 4 jobs n one. Like fabrication, fit, weld, and bolt up. Just 1dering if can do it by ur self

I’m a fitter and one of my good friends is my foreman a lot on jobs and when we got to a town we were working in last year we were kinda drunk cleaning out our toolboxes, and decided to check the level on all the stair rails and handrails, the floor of the hotel bedroom, inside cabinetry, walls ect! Lmao! Upstairs and downstairs bedrooms floors all were almost a whole bubble out slipping down to the door to go outside the motel. Our only hypothesis was that it did that if a sprinkler in the room went off because of fire, water would flow right out the door to outside (motel) instead of sitting still on bedroom floor and destroying floor beneath it or downstairs the walls around the room if it wasn’t sloped. Our drunk asses really thought we figured out some coool ass engineering shit that night all proud of ourselves! 🤦🏻♀️
