Two days from an urgent site requirement to custom 4-inch stainless steel Y-pieces ready to head to North Queensland.
These fittings were manufactured for an urgent pump-out project at a chemical facility where the transfer arrangement required more than a standard off-the-shelf fitting.
The solution: custom 4-inch stainless steel Y-pieces with male BSP threads, fitted with male and female stainless steel camlocks across the connections.
For jobs like this, the fitting itself is only part of the challenge.
The connections have to match the equipment.
The configuration has to work on site.
The material has to be selected for the application.
And when the project is urgent, the solution has to be available within the required timeframe.
Fox Global turned these units around in two days.
We can manufacture custom Y-piece arrangements in a range of sizes, including configurations up to 8 inch, with connection options including:
• BSP
• NPT
• Flanged ends
• Camlocks
• Travis couplings
• Bauer couplings
We can also manufacture configurations with valves incorporated on one, multiple or all ends, depending on the site's requirements.
Material options can include stainless steel, carbon steel and polypropylene/poly, with the appropriate material and configuration determined from the actual application.
This capability is useful well beyond chemical processing.
Mining, civil construction, water treatment, waste management, manufacturing, agriculture, oil & gas and marine projects can all encounter the same basic problem:
The equipment on site doesn't always connect the way the drawing — or the catalogue — says it should.
That is where custom fabrication can turn a connection problem into a practical fluid transfer solution.
Fox Global is proudly Australian-owned and family-operated, supporting industrial customers with technical advice, custom solutions, responsive turnaround and Australia-wide supply.
We have put together a detailed technical article covering this North Queensland project, Y-piece configurations, connection options, material considerations, common specification mistakes and what to provide when requesting a custom fitting.
