3 Simple Pipe Layout Tricks

While there are a number of specialist tools for working with pipe, I'm going to show you how to do some basic pipe layout using some very simple tools.

Really clever, just what I was looking for to make a metal curve to create a curve on a wall coping mould . Brilliant demo,

I began working recently as a pipefitter and welder and after seeing this video i am very happy that i got lucky with a nice colleague who taught me those tricks in my first days of working, but still - the process of learning never ends its until you retire hehe. Nice and helpful video !

Great idea on the seam tape, I've gone thru( burned up& had pilfered) too many wrap arounds..they aren't cheap anymore

[rufusmacck]

Ingenious. Makes a frustrating task much easier.

You could also use the first method to quarter the pipe. Just mark on the side

Ok you could just skip most of this video and go to 4:03.. put the level on the blade of that straight edge for plumb.. turns it 90 degrees for level and have 4 timing Mark's in 1 min.. you could even rest the end of the straight edge on top of the pipe.. find level useing the blade and mark both ends..

Nipping the corners on the paper was a new one for me, I'll be using that. Lately a lot of customers have been wanting things made out of pipe or tubing and I'm taking to long so all the tips are welcone

Or set center finder at the degree you want. "Close enough".😊

If you don’t have any crack tape you could just mark the plate.

Now if that isn't one of the handiest tricks. Thanks.

Now let's see if i can use this trick on a 20ft 2" diameter aluminum pipe. Need to have center-line for a ham radio antenna project. Thanks

*Bonus Tip*
1.Tac weld the angle iron on to the pipe
2. use it as a guide
3. now make straight, length wise, cuts.

I’ve laid out many a dummy leg with adding machine tape, but drywall tape would work so much better.

that was great, exactly the trick i was looking for! cheers!

[jaysondearhouse]

Thank you for saving me from hours of headache! Awesome!

[AlpacaRenee]

Thank you! You just saved me the price of another tool as well as room in my tool kit! That paper tape marking trick is like making paper dolls when I was a kid.😇

Great video but if you use the protractor that goes on the starrett center head with scale you can achieve any angle you want

[davemowers]

That was SWEET!! Well done. Thanks man!

[MichaelWVagg]
