I'm just a hobbyist and I want to weld up a turbo manifold for a project. I want to use schedule 10 or .125 thick tube, and would prefer to use ell and tee fittings. Mild steel is fine.

Ive been googling around but cant find a reasonably priced source for butt weld fittings. I dont call $50 per fitting plus for 1.25" steel reasonable, I think its because the places that come up sell to industrial users. Seems like they should be $10 per mild steel fitting, maybe 20 for 309L

Are there any recommended sources or do I need to readjust my expectations?

They are nuts. I only ever used them when I needed job related stuff. Good shipping and supply but always high prices. For personal projects I prefer better prices because I dont need their service

No, they are cheap, like the hardware. For comparison you could check Bakersfield pipe and supply in California, and Texas flange in Texas.

Did you check local HVAC and pipe suppliers in your area ?
