Where to find spuds? 1

[sbush]

Can anyone direct me to a supplier of welding spuds. I am looking for a 1" NPT size in stainless. This is not for tank penetration. I have not used these before but I have seen them. They appear to look like a half coupling with a flange around the girth for welding to a flat surface. Any help would be appreciated.

Here is one site you might checkout, given to me by a buddy at a supply store.

Check out Bonney Forge and their subsidiary WFI at

http://www.bonneyforge.com.

Click on the WFI link from the bonneyforge.com page and then the "products" link. What I consider a "spud" is what they call a "flanged pipet." From your description, though, it sounds like you are interested in more of a "vesselet" as shown on the second page of WFI's products. This is aka an "insert weldolet" on the Bonney Forge side.

Phoenix forge,

http://www.phoenixforge,

makes tank flanges like what you describe, but don't know if they do stainless.

Also check on "floor flanges", which might work for your application.
