A while back I made a set of gas spuds for 2 large boilers, I was told they needed to be 3/8" x 4-1/2" stainless steel gas spuds with (10) 3/16" orifices. Welp either my measuring equipment is on a different standard, than theirs or they made a serious error, they actually need to be 1/2" x 3-1/4" stainless steel gas spuds with (10) 3/16" orifices.
1 - start with 1/2" x 5", 304 grade stainless steel nipples
2 - cutting them to 3-3/8" long
3 - the left overs
4 - the raw stock for the 35 needed gas spuds|![505D2E86-E7E8-450C-BF73-5356FCE367F5.jpeg 505D2E86-E7E8-450C-BF73-5356FCE367F5.jpeg](https://www.hobby-machinist.com/data/attachments/279/279138-1f1202d910a887c8c77e9e8b0dc5f3ea.jpg)
