Metal Spigot
Metal Spigot
I have a customer who wants a pipe with an Aluminum spigot type stem connection similar to this pipe:

Can anyone offer advice as to where to obtain the spigot parts and how best to put one together?
Thanks,
Todd

Pipe Maker's Emporium has what you need:

It looks like they are silver instead of aluminum though.

So that gives me the outside, but what about the tapered metal clad tenon?

I think if you scroll towards the bottom of the page, the metal clad tenon is called:
#FB10
Silver Plated ( Long cap band )
$9.55 each
Inside Outer
12mm 20.3mm
#FB10
Silver Plated ( Long cap band )
$9.55 each
Inside Outer
12mm 20.3mm
Hello, I'm #1312.
That's a really big number.

Re: Metal Spigot
Ahh, I thought that was just an extra long band.
Thank you.
So, to use a system like this do I need to drill a tapered hole in the stemmel or a straight hole?

Re: Metal Spigot
I haven't the foggiest notion, actually. I only recalled seeing them there, I've never actually used them. Give Carolyn a call. She should be able to tell you what's up.

Re: Metal Spigot
I think you'll need to taper both the tenon and the mortise, a la military mount. I don't know that for a fact, I just thought that was the point?

Why not just do a faux spigot tenon. Do a standard tenon but add the metal to give the appearance of a metal spigot.

Re: Metal Spigot
But those store-bought tenon "covers" look already tapered. Maybe you guys know something I don't. If you do, please share it. Maybe it'll be so awesome I poop my pants. That doesn't happen nearly enough.Sasquatch wrote:This.wdteipen wrote:Why not just do a faux spigot tenon. Do a standard tenon but add the metal to give the appearance of a metal spigot.

Re: Metal Spigot
Incorporate the taper, up or down, in the stem shape. And the smaller sleeves, like the 7mm ones, have no or hardly any taper at all.

Re: Metal Spigot
It won't really be a spigot tenon but will look like one when assembled. Do like Sas says by adding the silver or nickel cap on the end of the shank then add a silver or nickel band on the end of the stem but cut a normal tenon or use delrin.

Re: Metal Spigot
So don't buy the already-tapered tenon caps -- since they are already tapered -- but just find a cylindrical ring that will fit the tenon?wdteipen wrote:It won't really be a spigot tenon but will look like one when assembled.

I guess I don't need to understand...it's not my project.
