3. Position the welding boss such that the four scribe lines on the welding boss are lined up with the horizontal
scribe mark and the oblique center line on the pipe. Make sure you orient the boss as shown below.
4. Clamp the boss in place using a pipe strap or equivalent so that it cannot move during tack welding.
5. Check the boss alignment, then tack weld the carbon steel boss to the pipe in each of the four grooves between
the boss scribe marks.
6. Remove the clamp and check the alignment again. If the boss is misaligned by 0.02 in. (0.5 mm) or more, remove
the boss, grind off the welds and reinstall it.
