Whoa, Spud, be very careful in the material you select, the pressures you are dealing with may very well exceed the pipe pressure capacity you plan to use, just a friendly warning, see if you can find pipe specific to that application and or pressure if you know what it is, sounds like a hard place to work in, you probably don't want to do it twice, speak to someone at a hydrualic shop or similar, I'm not sure what the working pressures of black iron is, but if it's gas line or similar, you may want to check it out before you fabricate what you need, make sure the fittings are of the same type and grade, elbows and or 90's, and don't replace hoses at the ends with pipe, I beleive the hoses stand up to shock and vibration, rigid pipe will fail. Anyways sorry for butting in etc., thought you may want to at least check it out, have seen mistakes like this before.
