Pipe Stabbing?

[Latexman]

What does "pipe stabbing" mean? I understand it's a British or European term.

Good luck,

It is not a term that I have heard here in South Africa. Perhaps you misheard someone say "stub in"?

 

[superpiper]

stub-in/stab-in= same thing

basicaly welding small pipe into large pipe without fittings.

 

[cvg]

in public works in the United States - generally refers to inserting a bell end of a pipe into the spigot as you lay the pipe in the bottom of a trench.

cvg is right. Stabbing is also a drilling term meaning to place the male threads of a piece of the drillstring, such as a joint of drillpipe, into the mating female threads, prior to making up tight.

Thanks everyone. I thought this referred to something from the oil patch. Looks like it's common to other areas too.

Good luck,
