Like teeth on a chicken!

Does anyone have a source/supplier of 3&1/2" and 5" cast iron pipe and fitting(s)?? I'm doing a steam project in a 100+ year old building and must adapt. So far I'm drawing a blank. Robert O'Connor/NJ

    Geeze


    I got 3.5" stuff from FW Webb a few years back, but I have no idea if they still have access to it.

    The 5" stuff is going to be real tough.

    Good luck Rob.

    I just logged onto my account where I can access the inventory of my branch and the nearest distribution center. There are lots of 3-1/2"X3" bushings and 5"X4" bushings. Not much else. Hope this helps.

    3-1/2\"

    I needed some 3-1/2" fittings for a steam job we did last spring. My supplier didn't have any on the shelf but was able to overnight the fittings direct from Ward. Hope this helps. -DF

  • Does it have to be cast iron fittings ?

    Did you try to locate malleable steel ? I know 3 1/2 inch is gonna be tough to find in either type . We had a job a few years ago with that odd size and could only find bushings to go one size down . Good luck Robert .
