How to join two pipes

[lauronS2NZY]

I am trying to join these two round pipe sections with a tapered connection 3mm wall thickness. Tried a loft, but could not seem to make it work.

I would use Loft, or better yet, Revolve...

Example files illustrating both techniques Attached.

Checked the file - now.  You are working too hard.

One circle, modified Extrude1, Chamfer, Extrude2 and Shell.

Hollow loft is not an available option in the Loft command.

Previously I said, 

Loft the outside (all) profiles so as to make a lofted joining Rod / Bar.

Shell the Rod to become a Tube / Pipe.  Alternative is to create a second Loft with inside profiles, as Loft > cut.

Might help…..

 Hi, Can you help me understand why the error message accrues when trying to Loft? I get the revolve which works but the file he has shows an error when trying to loft? What is the continuity condition in this example?

[davebYYPCU]

Using the smooth loft file, 

The profiles selected for the Loft, must be the faces of the extruded bodies. 

The conditional options are found here. (Connected, Tangent and Curvature - drop down menu)

If selecting the sketch circles, these conditions are unavailable.

Might help....

I think I am missing something as well?

Cannot Loft between rings (unless Surface Loft, but that is also circles) - selection must be end face of solid cylinders.

Shell the wall thickness after loft.

Go back and examine the examples that I Attached earlier.

Do you see any Loft between rings?

take a look

Note: The use of the shell tool guarantees a consistent wall thickness.
