"When St. Carver Regional Medical Center needed their 1962 steam distribution system converted to high-pressure hot water, IronThread completed the 11-week shutdown without a single pressure test failure — a first for that building in three decades."

Steam Lines. Gas Mains.
Zero Compromises.

Certified pipefitters for hospitals, breweries, and industrial plants. When your system runs at 3,800 PSI, you don't guess at the weld.

3,800PSI

Hydrostatic Test Rating

What 3,800 PSI actually means for your building.

Every completed system gets hydrostatic pressure-tested to 1.5× working pressure before a single valve opens. At 3,800 PSI capability, we test steam mains, glycol loops, and gas distribution lines that most contractors won't touch. When a competitor skips the pressure test — and many do — you inherit that liability at 2 AM during a January cold snap.

72Hour

Emergency Response Window

Seventy-two hours from call to pressurized system.

A failed steam trap in a hospital isn't a maintenance ticket — it's a patient safety event. Our emergency dispatch covers boiler room failures, gas line ruptures, and heat exchanger leaks with a 72-hour full-system restoration guarantee. We keep Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 black iron in the truck because waiting on a parts order isn't an option when your HVAC is down.

11Municipalities

Licensed Service Footprint

Eleven jurisdictions, one point of contact.

Municipal licensing isn't paperwork — it's the difference between a permit that passes and a stop-work order on inspection day. We hold active contractor licenses in 11 municipalities across the greater metro, which means your general contractor doesn't need to source a local sub for each jurisdiction. One crew, one insurance certificate, one call.

Scope of Work
New black iron pipe installation in industrial boiler room, ceiling grid of pipes with flanges
New Installation

Engineered from the First Joint

New steam, gas, or process piping systems designed to ASME B31.1 and B31.3 standards. We work from P&ID drawings or develop them in-house for design-build contracts.

  • Schedule 40 & 80 black iron, carbon steel, stainless
  • Boiler room tie-ins and distribution mains
  • Pressure relief and safety valve integration

Retrofit & Upgrade

Aging Systems Don't Have to Be Liabilities

We specialize in converting aging steam systems to high-pressure hot water, re-routing mains around structural changes, and upgrading distribution headers on operating plants.

  • Steam-to-HPHW conversion
  • Pipe rerouting during active operations
  • Flange-to-weld upgrades for leak elimination

Emergency Repair

72-Hour Restoration. No Exceptions.

Gas line ruptures, steam main failures, and process loop breaks don't wait for business hours. Our emergency crew carries common Schedule 40 fittings, couplings, and valves on every truck.

  • 24/7 dispatch — 4-hour on-site arrival target
  • Temporary bypass installation while repairs complete
  • Inspection-ready documentation same day

Steam Distribution Retrofit — 11 Weeks, 340 Joints

"Our 1974 steam distribution system had been patched by four different contractors over 20 years. IronThread came in, mapped every joint, and gave us a plain-English assessment of what was actually wrong. The retrofit took nine days. We haven't had an unplanned outage since."

Download Our Pipe Spec Sheet

Pressure ratings, wall thicknesses, and fitting specifications for Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 black iron — the reference sheet our field crews carry. Useful for engineers reviewing system capacity before a walk-through.

  • Schedule 40 & 80 pressure/temperature ratings
  • Standard fitting dimensions (NPT, flanged, grooved)
  • Hydrostatic test procedures reference

We'll send the spec sheet and follow up once — no drip sequences, no sales cadences.
