Welding and field fabrication

Field welding requires product-specific instructions and qualified review.

Product and application

Before ordering weld-together sections, ask whether field welding is intended for the specific product and what approved connection instructions are available. Tube thickness, material grade, coating and joint fit all affect the work.

Product options

Have qualified personnel select procedures, equipment and work practices for the actual material. Coatings can introduce additional hazards and repair requirements. Consult manufacturer documentation and applicable workplace safety requirements; this page is not a welding procedure.

Order details

The quote should separate supplied connection pieces from field labor and consumables. Obtain owner and supplier approval for any proposed product substitution before the installer plans around it.

Primary safety reference: OSHA 1910.252, welding, cutting and brazing general requirements. Qualified personnel must review applicable requirements for the material and work; this page supplies no welding procedure or compliance assurance.
