Swage Nozzle Dimensions

Swage Nozzle Dimensions

(OP)
Hello all, can anybody tell me where to find dimensional schedules for "swage" nozzles as are used on box headers of air coolers?

Thanks in advance

Mike

RE: Swage Nozzle Dimensions

codeeng thanks, but no. The fitting may be called something else, but is commonly referred to as a swage. It is a transition from round to obround, and the few I've seen are buttweld. They are used to put a nozzle onto a air-cooler box header where header dimensions do not allow room for round pipe and opening. Probably 6" and up.

Any air cooler folks out there?

Thanks again

Mike

Cool, unclesyd, thanks. I did an internet search before posting, but the first x hundred pages didn't turn up anything useful. Care to reveal your techniques?

After checking with a supplier in Jacksonville Florida, closed the doors last year.
 
You hit on it in your second post about the name.  I remember that they made transition flanges and assumed they made transition nozzles, so I went with the nozzle angle. I was scanning the urls' to see if I could catch a name.

Any pipe fitter worth his salt can "boat" a large pipe into a smaller one.  The best I've seen is a 1" into 1/2" that cut a very pretty radiograph.  Not recommended.

Boat? Care to explain?

RE: Swage Nozzle Dimensions

The term boat comes from the shape of the cutout in the run of pipe where you are going to attach the swaged branch.
