I need a 4" long pc. of 4" pipe, 3 1/2" ID. I need it to beef up my grader blade.
I can't find it anywhere on the internet, anyone know where I could order one?

try a boiler repair. They always have material left over from jobs.

4 inch long? See if there is a trailer fab shop in your area. That's scrap length. I've got a 3 foot section of that pipe (sched 40) that is rusting in my scrap barrel. Don't know what the shipping would be on a 4 inch by 4 inch box about 4 pounds I'd guess.

Did you try onlinemetals.com ? They have almost everything and you can order small pieces.

I can check at the fab shop tomorrow and see if there's any 3-1/2" Sch 40 steel pipe. That would measure 3.521" inside and 4" outside.

What town are you near?

Have you checked scrape yards?? Go to a plumbing place and they might have black pipe for gas lines. You could get a 6" or they might even have 4" nipple (What it's called is a nipple)

You're right chim, it is 3 1/2" pipe. That's not a common size. Thanks for your help but I don't want to put anyone out.
I can work around the pipe, do it a different way.

No big deal. I'll see what we have. We normally go from 3" to 4" and skip over 3-1/2" on both electrical and HVAC projects. I'll check the pipe shop first for black pipe. Electrical would be galvanized and would need cleaned off if it gets welded. We do have oddball stuff around.

I asked about your location because we have a project near Ashland and it wouldn't be a problem to toss it in one of our trucks if we have it. If 3-1/2" makes the project easier we can figure something out. Shouldn't be too many bucks to UPS it if all else fails.

Speedy Metals. They're happy to ship. Small quantities are fine. Can order right off their website. "I use them for all my small order needs"

$2.62/in: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

If you put in the comments that you want them to "cut exact" they will. Otherwise it comes 1/8" oversized.

Any company that installs chain link fence should have plenty of rems in that size, that's often used for terminal posts on larger gate installs. A good outfit should give you a small chunk along with a card just for the good will on future business.
