I think i might have to jump on the making your own manifold wagon when i get home. it seems pretty easy if you have a little patience and are willing to do a little trial and error work. :P


serisouly though, i think im gonna try making one.

 

thanks for the compliments steve I did do a lot of homework
Yes, everything is sc 10. I got the 6f straight section, they gave me a 7f piece for the price of the 6f piece. Sc 10 is more than perfect for this type of mani. It will just sit like that for a while because I'm returning my pos mig and with permission from the wife I'm getting a tig.

 

that is a beautiful DIY manifold. McMaster rocks! I get really cheap stuff from them since I used to order using my ship's address and military title. They ship my ---- quick as hell too and usually receives it within a week. I guess they think that I'm ordering "for" the ship instead of personal use.....

GJ on that manifold bro!

 

your wife is gonna ---- when she finds out how much a tig costs...

Just shoot her a link to full-race.com and say "baby.. I can make these manifolds at 1/18th the price"

 

she stops talking to me for hour after I told her how much it costs :P But after a good traditional man to woman begging it's all good.
HOMEDEPOT ROCKS!!!! I bought my mig there two months and half ago, abused the ---- out of it and returned it yesterday with no question asked All 500 dineros back into my hand.

 

I hope I don't get the one you returned :P

 

does mcmaster also sell mild steel? i searched but didn't find any. prolly user error :P

 

i found schedule 40 but not 10

1 1/2" pipe fitting 2 1/4" radiuspart number 43425K151 price $6.53

 

to all of you mani makers, will this work? stainless is cheaper though.

 

it'd work but it really doesn't need to be that thick. Mild will be easier to cut so its not a terribly big deal.
