As most of you oilfield hands know most rigs are in remote locations, my rig is 120 miles out in the gulf, I needed a 4"sch. 80 "tee" to repair a washout on a saltwater line, most of the time I have to fab my fittings. So what you guys think?

Looks good to me like you said 120 miles out not like you can run to town and pick 1 up

Oil field is that way even when on land and it's only 5 miles to town they will want you to fab something that takes 1/2 a day to make when it only cost 20.00 in town just so they can save 20.00 lol wierd i know but i never complain just say yes sir and get after it kinda makes me feel guilty sometimes

Nice work......Of course I know very little about pipe.
When you came around the corners were you going up or down? What rod? Thanks for considering my simple question!
