Where to get cheapest pipe fittings and mandrel bends...
 

I know this comes up a lot, but ---- changes as time goes on.

I'm going to be buying some 1.25 and 1.5" stainless 90's (pipe) and some 2" tube and mandrel bends.

Anybody think they know the best prices? and no, McMaster isn't cheapest.

Re: Where to get cheapest pipe fittings and mandrel bends...
 

I'm also gonna need some t3 flanges, and probably some other flanges that will have to be laser cut. I have a cad drawing of them alread.

This guy is pretty cheap. As far as tube goes.

Re: Where to get cheapest pipe fittings and mandrel bends...

Re: Where to get cheapest pipe fittings and mandrel bends...

Re: Where to get cheapest pipe fittings and mandrel bends...

Re: Where to get cheapest pipe fittings and mandrel bends...

For elbows, call

Ace Stainless

I don't think they do any flanges at all. They do carry mandrel bent tube for downpipes and stuff. I think the price on a 3" was about $17.50.

Re: Where to get cheapest pipe fittings and mandrel bends...
 

Thanks man, good stuff ;D

Re: Where to get cheapest pipe fittings and mandrel bends...
 

yea ace is awesome; fast shipping and friendly service. you cant go wrong

as for flanges and what not i vote on Aaron Wier; he's fast and efficient and costs about the same or less than the rest of the guys. he also doesn't bullshit around

Re: Where to get cheapest pipe fittings and mandrel bends...
 

McMasters is the ----!!! I ordered 15 90's and six foot of pipe on wed. at 3pm, and got them at 11am on thursday.

Re: Where to get cheapest pipe fittings and mandrel bends...
 

Aint that the truth..................He overcharges for shipping so much, you'd payless paying more for parts somewhere else............Go figure.

Re: Where to get cheapest pipe fittings and mandrel bends...
 

ace is no tthe cheapest alternative.

Re: Where to get cheapest pipe fittings and mandrel bends...
 

Until you prove otherwise, they are. ::)


Post up where you can get it cheaper...

Re: Where to get cheapest pipe fittings and mandrel bends...
 

i fucked up

Re: Where to get cheapest pipe fittings and mandrel bends...
 

I've now found two threads specifically targetting me as overpricing shipping so let me repost what I already posted on the other thread:

Our shipping prices are pulled directly through the UPS API system, they are based on weight and we add $2.00 for a box. NOBODY is ever overcharged for shipping from us.

NOW - I realise that I can get cheaper rates through DHL and FEDEX -- but my customers need their product NOW, and they get it NOW. No bullshit with UPS - ever. We ship on average of 30+ boxes a day - I have no time to play *check the tracking # and pray*.

Fedex loses every third package I've ever sent with them and their claims department is a joke - they lost a $2700 turbo system of ours 2 months ago -- and dishonored the claim.

I have no experience with DHL to say yay or nay with - but why even bother. UPS gets it there and that's all I care about. It's not worth the risk to save $5.

Re: Where to get cheapest pipe fittings and mandrel bends...
 

well if your gonna roll your eyes, then i guess they are the cheapest....

i honestly dont even want to tell these dick lickers. maybe ill pm you.

Re: Where to get cheapest pipe fittings and mandrel bends...
 

i don't think engloid was tryin to be an ass about it, but to the rest of us they would be the cheapest until proven otherwise. he was simply stating in a fact and throwing in a dumb ass smiley face thing that i'm sure about 9000 of your current 10268 posts have in them ::)

i aint trying to be an ass either, just letting ya know

Re: Where to get cheapest pipe fittings and mandrel bends...
 

I got a better deal on sch pipe finally!
sch 40 90s my price are $4.16 each
sch 40 t's are $8.25 each

on tubing I got a deal with vertex industries now, I get everything 10% off (I do about 2-4k $ per month thought)

Re: Where to get cheapest pipe fittings and mandrel bends...
 

No, I wasn't trying to be a smartass about the prices....just kidding around with you. I do PM me some info if it's good ----.

So doing the math, it would be about $4.62 for the rest of us...for the 90's.

Re: Where to get cheapest pipe fittings and mandrel bends...
 

racing solutions got me everything I needed for around 60 shipped. Got it in 2 days.

Re: Where to get cheapest pipe fittings and mandrel bends...
 

Well anything mild steel, i can probably give the best price around. Before i was selling the Sched 10 ss 90 degree elbows for $4.75. However since there is a demand for lower prices, im going to drop them to $4.25 ea. For someone who purchases in qty, i can drop the price even more. So just pm me with your needs.
Thanks

Re: Where to get cheapest pipe fittings and mandrel bends...
 

damn!! I wish i wouldve known this before. I just bought 70, 1.5" sch10 ss 90's for $5.20 each.

Re: Where to get cheapest pipe fittings and mandrel bends...

Re: Where to get cheapest pipe fittings and mandrel bends...
 

I will be getting my stuff from you

Re: Where to get cheapest pipe fittings and mandrel bends...
 

^^ i dont think james sells that stuff. I also dont think he would sell them to you at those prices ;)

Re: Where to get cheapest pipe fittings and mandrel bends...
 

aww, dammit. yeah I was kinda wondering

Re: Where to get cheapest pipe fittings and mandrel bends...
 

I could sell these if people wanted, but the price wont be the same as what I get them as I have to spend 4 hours on the road just to go and get these. Pm me if you want a price on them

Re: Where to get cheapest pipe fittings and mandrel bends...

Re: Where to get cheapest pipe fittings and mandrel bends...
