fittings and steel pipes with threading in Chiang Mai

[DanielGoldfish]

Could anyone recommend a place to find pipes and "T", elbow, flange fittings? Basically I am looking for the same things as the OP in the this thread: http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/432887-plumbing-supplies-in-bangkok/ but in Chiang Mai. Hardware shops I've visited have pipes with no threading, Global House - some fittings and pipes with no threading.

If you find this, keep in mind, that none of the fittings here are tapered (like in the rest of the real world)....they don't tighten up! You need at least 15 continuous wraps using teflon pipe tape. It took me a long time experimenting with how many wraps would stop a leak. Good luck. pe

I live in a small amphoe town,and we have 3 places that will put theads on pipes ,Hok - Hoon,3/4"up 2" have had theads done several times, keep away from the Global House 's ect, and find a Thai hardwear shop like in the link you gave.

You will know when you find one ,they have a big eltectric threading machine,with probaly a pile of shavings underneath.

Or ask "Tam-Keeoo-Di- Mie". should not be to diffcult,and they will have all the fittings you need,might have to go out of town bit,they is one out there, for certain.
