G'day Guy's,
Well decided to make a reducer for that fitting so I just need to find/source a 6" triclamp now.
Anyway I decided to use a 3/4" pipe for forming the reducer and worked out I needed 502mm, I got the pipe from work yesterday and got onto it as soon I got home from work. So basically just marked a line down the pipe and cut it with a 1mm disc on the 4" grinder then deburred the cut straight away as it does need doing and no use saying Oh Shit :angry-banghead: should of done it earlier. All I did was markout the circumference length of the lower part then markout out the circumference of the top part. After I had basically formed the reducer enough to get the ends together found the angle was way too much :angry-banghead: so got the angle guage out and 1/2'd the angle and got it silver soldered. That was enough for the night so called it.
This morning back to it and about 5 hours later YAY mission completed :happy-partydance: :happy-partydance: :happy-partydance:

It sits on the 6-4 reducer nicely and for the base I just peened over a 10mm to a right angle and found it was a tad too small to fit the riser on the seal :angry-banghead: :angry-banghead: :angry-banghead: . So duly got some 3" pipe and flattened it for making the bottom sealing plate. Tried to get it flat while not annealed and no way could I get it flat :crying-blue: So annealed it and while still hot put the plate ontop and gave it a few wacks and one flat plate underneath :happy-partydance: . Cleaned it all up and soft soldered it in and gave it a basic rub on the concrete. More to go there aswell as the 6" easy flange.
Got it sitting in a citric acid bath to clean it up then I'll do the concrete rub to get the sealing purfect :music-deathmetal:
Cheers Bryan
