There are machine shops in the industrial PVF industry who make thousands of a single item inexpensively. Then there are small manufacturers like Piping Supplies Inc who make custom pipe flanges and other parts for the PVF industry and the Navy as the customer orders them. We are basically a job shop who specializes in pipe flanges. The good part of being a smaller job shop is the ability to make small quantities of special, weird, odd, and sometimes strange parts that you can not find “off the shelf”. We can also make these hard-to-find flanges and specialty machined items fast.

Some examples of hard-to-find items include standard dimension items made from unique steels and alloys. Aluminum, Monel 400, titanium, Alloy 20, Hastelloy, Copper-nickel and many other metals all fall under this category. See a more complete list of metal we machine here.

Sometimes a customer wants a commercial flange with a slight change. Examples of this are weld necks with a radius on the face side bore, flanges with threaded bolt holes, reducing socket weld flanges and many more.

Then there are the totally custom items. We just made flanges for the Navy in 304 stainless steel that we affectionately call “eyeballs”. See this video of our CNC milling machine creating the unique shape.

Whatever the need, Piping Supplies is here to help our customers with their more demanding requirements. Special items are where our 50 years of machining experience in the industrial pipe, valve and fitting sector really shows its value. The way we see it; everyone in the world can make a 2” 150# ANSI B16.5 Slip-On, Weld Neck or Blind. Not everyone can do what we do every day.
