Painted Fittings
Painted Fittings
(OP)
I have problem with typical carbon steel fittins (A105).
These fitting come from the supply house dipped in primer to prevent rusting. I want to weld the fittings into a solvent line but I am concerned that the paint will flake off the fittings and travel down stream. Does anyone have a slick way to remove the paint from the fittings or have you been able to order the fittings paint free? The fittings are 1/2" to 2" and only total about 100 so it is not exactly a large custom mill job. Any ideas?
Thanks

I am looking into that as well. I am thinking solvent wash to remove what can come off easy, then soda blasting, then final rinse. I was just wondering if anyone had a work around than mechanically cleaning each piece.
