Plug weld or something else?

Hello All,

My first post!

I'm working on an insert for a PVC setup - yep, PVC as in the plastic tubing for water and such.

The PVC will be the sleeve over the aluminum parts shown here. Everything I'm asking about is aluminum.

I have an intersection, a 'T' that I have to build.

Here's the drawing (as it relates to this question):

The bottom has to be snug to the Disc, so I can't spot weld under the disc to the Tubing.

I was wondering if a Plug weld would be the right idea?

The Disc would have 4 3/8" holes drilled and the weld would be down from the Disc to the Base Post.

Does that sound right - a Plug weld?

Thanks,
Patrick
