Metric Thredolet 1

[montealvoj19]

Hello,

We are building a prover for a customer in Russia and they are wanting metric thredolets.

Here's what he wants. M27 X 2 THREDOLET 3000# FS ASTM A 105. I am having a hard time finding a vendor in Houston Texas and I was wondering if any of you have a vendor or source where I can buy this Thredolet any help will help.

Thanks for any help

No I will give them a call, hopefully these are some good leads. Thanks for the help!

FVC said they do not make Thredolets so no luck there.

Bonney Forge?

Bonney Forge was a no go I asked before.

I Called the major manufacturers of Olets and they all said no. So i'm stuck and don't know where to go.

Why do you need to get it in Houston?

This is what the internet and air freight was invented for.

There are many suppliers in the Uk or Europe who you can pay over the phone and will send it express delivery air freight. Ok it may be a bit more than getting it loosely, but you're running out of suppliers and wasting more time than a simple fitting is worth.

Also: There's usually a good reason why everyone does it that way

Can you modify (by boring and tapping) a 6000 lb or 9000 lb sockolet made for smaller pipe?

All of the potential liability for failure of a modified or home-made fitting is going to fall on you; will it be possible to hydrotest this?

 

[montealvoj19]

Does anyone know any vendors of the UK, that sell Thredolets? Unfortunately I'm in a bind right now.

 

[Cockroach]

A dime a dozen in Canada. Try any pipe supply house in Edmonton or Calgary.

Try promat bd (they even have an office in Houston) or pipe-fittings.co.uk

I don't think you'll find a 27 x 2.00 Threadolet. I am saying this not because I am very familiar with these things, but because it is my understanding that these are commonly used for pipe thread connections and the metric equivalent would be e.g. G-3/4". With a straight metric thread you would have to use other methods to seal the thread, for instance o-rings, washers or fittings with a cutting edge on the bottom of the nut that cuts into the lower fitting for sealing - meaning the face of the Threadolet would have to be carefully machined to provide a sealing surface and/or a chamfer for the o-ring.

Well I got a response from pipe fittings Uk, they don't stock it. But they are able to make it. Also I found a source in Houston that can make it,i have no other choices at this time. Thanks for all the help
