Stainless steel emission probe

You never know what's going on at Orchem Pumps.
We are custom bending Stainless steel, 3/8 .035 wall tubing to be used for vacuum emission probes for the state.
These probes have 12 holes drilled in specific locations. They have custom handles being held on by a 2 part epoxy, and the one end has a stainless steel plug welded into the end. The other end is flared to a .470 diameter to accept a JIC fitting. The JIC fitting is then attached to a vacuum pump which draws the vehicle exhaust into the testing equipment for analysis.
So, in one piece you have, cutting, bending, drilling, flaring, welding, gluing, reaming, and attaching fittings.
Full Probe. Overall length is 54"
Above and below pictures are of the flared end with the JIC fitting, and the handle


This end has the holes and the Stainless plug welded into it
