[QUOTE="miketheknife, post: 347734, member: 13222"] The way it was explained to me was that a butt weld is not the best weld under stress. Gussets just distribute the stress over wider area. A sleeve is just a form of gusset. The gap , in my case, was to allow full weld between the pipe and the sleeve with multiple passes to fill the gap. Talk to a certified welder who can explain it much better than me. Mike [/QUOTE]
