Chaps,
I've seen reference to a type of plumbing? tubing that I'm going to fabricate my (turbo
) manifolds from, which is a) cheap and b) thickish
and c) available in many different shapes and sizes and can't remember what it's called.
Does ELS sound familiar or is it called something else.
Thanks
Simon
a google search for "butt weld pipe fittings" brought up this http://www.anson.co.uk/pipefits.html any good?

The link looks like LCS (Low Carbon Steel) pipe used in commercial Heating and Gas instalations.
I would have thought it was a little on the heavy side for an exhaust, buy yes you can get it in all sorts of angles and swept bends etc.
From what I can remember and guess i'd say a 1" elbow would have a sidewall of about 5mm as the same pipe it welds to can also be screwed so
it would have to be thick enough to cut a 1" BSP thread on.
I think it would be too heavy if this the the stuff you mean.... Hmm Wonder if they do the same thing in stainless for the Food Industry tho

It was the "butt weld" bit I couldn't remember - searched the forum, and found the thread:
