Industrial steel piping UK availability

[dybleah]

Dear all,
I'm trying to work with some old looking, industrial (?galvanised) steel pipe.
Does anyone know where I can get custom lengths of the piping/fittings as in the pictures below? I've look everywhere, including plumbing stores/wholesalers to no avail. I believe some people use recycled ones, but I'm not sure how these are sourced either. Any help will be hugely appreciated.

Many thanks

Why not get your own tooling? What people pay for that stuff is mental. Get it on an interest free credit card and your sales should cover the investment by the time the 0%deal ends.

It standard stuff and easy to find at most decent plumbing suppliers

Try BSS industrial they will have exactly what you want and have an online catalogue.

galvanised won`t look old - it`ll be shiny ish . those things are black iron - I`ve used some to make a wall mounted stand for my record deck Unfortunately I haven`t patented it

Why not get your own tooling? .

I did - I paid £10 for a full set of stocks + dies @ a local auction - just need a power hacksaw and pipe vice .

Thanks for replies guys.
I'm looking for the black iron stuff.

Do retailers still stock them these days?

Many of the retailers sell the galvanised pipes in x metre lengths and don't have really short lengths.

What tooling do I need? Particularly, I worry about how to create the threading after I cut a piece off a longer length!

Thanks again
