Steel pipe length

[DylanBunch]

How short do I need to make the steel pipe to where I can fit the floor flanges? I stupidly had the pipe cut to the internal dimensions and once the floor flanges were on the pipe I couldn't turn it upright cause the side of the flange would hit the top. Wondering how much I need taken off so I can take it to get it cut again

you cant assemble it and push it in straight? cause even at the right length that is about the only way to do it. the you unthread it a bit to snug it and bolt it in.

im assuming you are talking about box bracing here

I'm using it to brace my wall and I can't cleanly take my loading wall off so I have to put it in through the port and tilt it upright. I already cut about 1/4-3/8 off of one end and it did nothing

[DylanBunch]

I'd keep cutting it but it's such a pain to cut I wanna try and find a spot where I can just cut it once

I measured how deep the threads are....subtracted from width needed to brace

Had home depot cut and thread. Something like that

Hmm I'll give that a shot thanks

For 3/4" pipe and flanges, I subtracted 1/2" total from the internal dimension and I actually have too much space with the pipe completely tightened on each flange.....I may get new pieces cut only subtracting 1/4" total.....because I'm OCD when building things.

EDIT: they still fit by loosening the pipe a little on each flange.

[DylanBunch]

Really? I have 1/4 cut off and can't fit mine

[magillaru]

Yup. Internal dimension is 15.5", pipe is 15"........

Shit guess I'll try it again then lol
