First of all... thank you to everyone who replied to my seemingly simple post. I, too, have done a little more research including writing to the Assistant VP of Product Engineering at Bonney Forge (weird huh 11echo?... smiling). These mythical 9000# S.W.unions actually appear in a published job piping spec by a fairly large engineering firm, but my feeling is that they were painstakingly fabricated from scratch to suit a corrosion allowance (3/16" C.A.) instead of having to adhere to a prescribed pressure-temperature curve.

The Bonney Forge VP basically told me the same thing, 11echo. They are not governed by MSS SP-83 criteria so who knows what the dimensions are... thanks again for all of the positive response!

A fellow senescent piper,
Bob

p.s.
hey Jop... thanks for the new word, but I'm so senescent that I'll probably forget it tomorrow (smiling)...

Bob ...You know what they say "Great minds think alike"! *L* ...Jop's suggest is probably the best your going to do, but I was going to suggest some SAE hydraulic flanges to cut down on physical size ...but you'd be breaking spec, which could be a good/bad thing. Good luck my friend!
