where to buy steam pipe / mild steel

[NIPPY]

ive only ever bought stainless so im not sure where to look. so where can i buy mild steel and steam pipe from? i need to buy a whole heep of 2 inch and 3 inch bends.

[Scaf]

Di Candilo steel is good for straight off cuts and OneSteel is good for the bends and that.
I got ripped off on the bends at Di Candilo, paid like 9 dollars a bend, OneSteel has them for like 2 dollars each.

steampipe is awsome. its wat 6boost uses to build his and alot of the other dudes like Kemp etc use in the east as well. it can handle lots of heat and his strong as an ox!

[datsqik]

Stainless steam pipe is ok, better than thin stainless.

I got mine from genie exhausts. Any decent exhaust place will help you out.

Butler built also do flanges

butler built are bombed
bring down a sample and he'll plasma cut you a new one on the spot

[Scaf]

I was gonna get them from butler built but they have to cnc them out, and are always flat out and so you have to wait.

Butler recommended i go to Genie, they have them on the shelf and are cheaper.
