Looking for one for a friend. I actually have one that can be used as a reference, but can't get my hands on another. Thanks for the help.

Knew some I&E guys at a plant that were making them, what are you looking for exactly? All I know is it a few swagelok fittings and some 316 tubing and a 6" piece of 1 1/2" SS pipe.

I've had a few of them. Alemite grease fittings work great for the burner tip inside the stainless pipe. Also if you have one made, have them put a quick connect fitting at the end of the tubing where the gas connects to the tubing.

I'm sure I could make it, but I'd rather spend $500 than try and bend 3 perfectly identical legs out out of 1/2" stainless tubing.

I know this post is old, but I used to have a burner like that and was looking to make another. Was curious if you could send a picture of yours to refresh my memory on exactly how it was made. I remember it had stainless tees but can remember how they joined in the middle. Thanks

Let me know if you build some. I lost mine on vacation in 2018 and I’d like to have another one. I believe the swivel fittings are called swedgelock fittings. I found one on Craigslist but it only has one jet

Swagelok. And they are just a popular brand. Plenty of other companies make tubing fittings that are much more reasonably priced.

Some plant baws probably built that thing out of spare parts.

Not so much spare but “ borrowed” parts

Yep, that’s one expensive burner if you don’t have a key to the maintenance building.

Swagelok is a manufacturer.

Gyrolok, Parker, fitok are a few others.

Those were a common place back in the day.

Could turn out quite a few in a day once the pattern was shorted out.

Have to bend it with roller benders. The stretch type cheap benders would dogleg the frick out of that tubing.

Yeah I think the last time I had used one as a fishing weight they cost about 20$ for a union...

It really needs a 4th leg. 3 legs is extremely unsafe
