can anyone cut pipe threads in Los angeles?

[AJAX22]

I am working on a mad max project and need pipe threads cut into a piece of Dom tubing ( roughly 1 inch id, 1.25 inch OD if I recall correctly)

The piece of pipe is short (about 11 or 12 inches long)

Can anyone make this happen? It's for a pretty awesome project.

None of the machinists I know are set up to cut standard plumbing threads.

Home depot plumbing Dept is your friend

Home Depot can cut threads in pipe, they may have trouble with tubing... The OD is different, possible too different. I know if you try to bend tubing in a pipe bender it just crushes flat...

any plumber should be able to help you, HD or Lowes may not do it since you didn't buy it there.

Home Depot and Lowes will only thread galvanized and black iron pipe. Any local plumber can thread this for you if they are in the mood. Many probably won't because they will be afraid of damaging their thread cutters, plumbers like soft iron and not steel. They will have to make a small adjustment to the threading head to achieve your threads as the O.D. will probably have a minor difference to iron pipe but it's still very easy and can be knocked out in a few minutes. Standard iron pipe runs as 1.25 as well. If you get totally stuck on this P.M me and I can help you out. I've got my own hydraulic pipe threading machines. I can thread from 3/8" to 6" O.D pipe. As long as the project is at least 5" in length, anything shorter and I just buy nipples. I just need to know exactly what type of pipe you want to use and the pipe dimensions (O.D. and I.D.) and overall length desired. I probably have the scrap dom tub your looking for in our welding shop. I'm located in Sacramento. Could most likely send it to you postage due and your good to go.

fill it with sand first

That's not a "pipe" size. Actual 1" pipe is 1 3/8 on the outside. If you find someone to cut the threads, they won't be full depth.

[AJAX22]

The threads don't have to be full depth, it's just to retain a buffer spring, it doesent have to hold back fluid.

Home depot said they couldn't do it to such a short piece and they wouldn't because they didn't sell the pipe

Then why not standard UN threads?

rental yard will have a pipe threader

Could you further bastardized your project.
Buy a nipple from depot where the ID matches your DOM Outer Diameter

Cut the threaded section off of the nipple
Then weld the threads over the DOM tube?

[hermosabeach]

You could either leave the threaded piece short so it is entirely covered by the cap or longer and taper it down on a belt sander or grinder....

fill it with sand first

Or use the correct bender shoes... Just an example that pipe and tubing ODs are different to the point it prolly won't work very well

I might be able to assist. Depending on the size and material of your tubing, it might not be suitable for a pipe die. Single-pointing the threads on the lathe is sometimes a more sensible option, but only if they're straight and not tapered. I'm in North Orange County. Send me a private message if you have questions or need guidance. If you're making silencers, Class 3 weapons, receivers, cannon, destructive devices, or anything else that might be regulated, then I will not be able to help in any way.

Plumbing pipe threads are tapered
