Build the setup

A good pipe welding setup solves four jobs

1. Support

Use pipe stands to hold the workpiece at a safe, workable height during welding and preparation.

2. Align

Use fitting clamps to keep pipe sections positioned correctly before welding.

3. Rotate

Use roller heads or ball transfer heads when the pipe needs easier movement during fabrication.

4. Purge

Use purge plugs, discs or dual seal systems to control shielding gas inside stainless pipework.

Pipe tool questions

What are Cougartron pipe tools used for?

Cougartron pipe tools are used to support, align, rotate and purge pipe during welding, cutting, fitting and stainless fabrication work.

Which pipe stand should I choose?

Choose a fixed or folding pipe stand based on where you work, how often it needs to move and the height range required for the job.

When do I need roller heads?

Use roller heads when the pipe needs to move, rotate or be repositioned more easily during cutting, welding or preparation work.

What are fitting clamps used for?

Fitting clamps hold and align pipe sections before and during welding. They help keep pipe fit-up controlled and repeatable.

What is weld purging used for?

Weld purging helps control the atmosphere inside stainless pipework during welding, reducing oxidation on the inside of the weld.

Should I choose purge plugs or a dual seal purge system?

Purge plugs are practical for smaller or simpler jobs. Dual seal purge systems are better when you need a more controlled purge zone, repeat use and improved gas efficiency.

What should I send if I need help choosing?

Send pipe diameter, material, wall thickness if relevant, welding process, and whether you need to support, align, rotate or purge the pipe.
