That’s a very good question , what the feck is he doing ? I couldn’t make out what sort of pipe the stopper is in

looks like seamless hydraulic

Thick walled 1" BSP all the way from Turkey. Not very nice to weld but then it wasn't sold as such, so putting under mains pressure to look for pinholes.

sprinkler system??? ... why not thread it and use reducing tees? .. hell of a lot of work welding that lot in

Part of my narrow boat build, underfloor heating trying to capture some of that 30% of energy that gets lost as heat.
For the kit I've got welding in bosses seems my easiest and most cost effective method. I made a clamp up for the pipe so that I could use my mag drill to take out most of the 27 mm hole. Tap with a hammer and the slug twists out leaving a step each side to support a half inch bsp boss. Had the bandsaw behind me doing multiple cuts on a paying job so my time on the welder I'm not counting
Made up a sample section and cut it up for checking and noticed that in a section cut and polished that the unwelded pipe had very small black flecks
Haven't been able to stomach the prospect of paying nigh on £50 for 250ml of etchant so going to have to make up an chemical order big enough to satisfy the precursor regulations

Is this the same as lambrini? All we can get round here

Might even be better if it has the ribbed plastic cork

I've once seen something similar round here called bucks fizz

Nothing as fancy as that, plain old welded tube in a slightly thicker wall .
There is a welded joint that isn't obvious in the pic
I'll be giving it a good shake and a careful examination before it gets "incorporated "

CHS (circular hollow section) is usually pressure tested to 4-5 bar in the mill, so should be fine
