90° Flanged Elbow Configuration
A 90-degree flanged elbow changes the direction of a piping run by approximately 90 degrees while providing flanged connections at both ends.
This configuration is designed for piping layouts requiring a right-angle turn and bolted flange joints rather than threaded, soldered, or welded end connections.
Confirm the exact fitting size and Class 150 mating-flange requirements before ordering.
ASC Figure 38E1 Identification
The supplied ASC/SCI Ductile Iron Flanged Fittings & Flanges Catalog identifies this fitting as Figure 38E1 – 90° Elbow within the Class 150 ductile iron flanged fitting family.
The manufacturer catalog provides a size-specific ASC part number, A dimension, and fitting weight for each cataloged Figure 38E1 configuration.
Because the exact sizes included in this GetPipe.com listing were not provided, no individual size table has been added to this description.
Construction Details
The Figure 38E1 is manufactured from ductile iron conforming to ASTM A536.
ASC states that its flanged fitting dimensions conform to ASME B16.42 and ANSI/AWWA C110/A21.10.
The fitting body incorporates two flanged connection ends arranged at a 90-degree angle to provide the required right-angle piping transition.
Flanged Connection Details
The Figure 38E1 uses Class 150 flanged connections for assembly with compatible mating flanges.
The supplied Service Metal flange specification provides general Class 150 flange dimensional and bolting reference information, including flange outside diameter, flange thickness, bolt-circle diameter, bolt-hole diameter, bolt quantity, bolt diameter, and bolt lengths.
These flange-reference dimensions should not be treated as the overall dimensions of the Figure 38E1 elbow body. Use the ASC/SCI fitting catalog for the elbow-specific A dimension and weight.
90° Elbow vs. Long Radius 90° Elbow
90° Elbow – Figure 38E1
- Standard 90-degree elbow configuration
- Provides a right-angle piping turn
- Flanged connections at both ends
- Class 150 ductile iron fitting
- Use where the standard elbow geometry is required
90° Long Radius Elbow – Figure 38LE1
- Also provides a 90-degree directional change
- Uses a different long-radius geometry
- Requires additional installation space
- Different fitting dimensions from Figure 38E1
- Confirm the required elbow style before ordering
Why Use a Flanged 90° Elbow?
Right-Angle Piping Change
- Provides a 90-degree directional turn
- Useful where piping must change direction around equipment or structures
- Maintains a defined flanged piping path
- Suitable for compatible industrial and utility piping layouts
- Available in size-specific configurations documented by ASC
Serviceable Flanged Connections
- Uses bolted flange joints
- Allows disassembly when service is required
- Requires compatible mating flanges
- Requires suitable gaskets and bolting
- Proper flange alignment is important during installation
Applications
The 150 lb. Ductile Iron Flanged 90° Elbow is designed for compatible Class 150 flanged piping systems requiring a 90-degree change in direction.
Final suitability should be confirmed against the system requirements, mating flange configuration, service conditions, and the supplied ASC/SCI manufacturer information.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the exact Figure 38E1 fitting size required before ordering.
- Verify that a standard 90° elbow configuration matches the intended piping layout.
- Confirm Class 150 mating-flange, gasket, bolt-pattern, and bolting compatibility.
- Properly align and support piping before tightening flange bolts; do not use bolting to force misaligned flanges together.
- Review the ASC/SCI catalog for Figure 38E1 fitting-specific information and the supplied flange specification for general Class 150 flange and bolting reference data.
Use the supplied ASC/SCI catalog to verify the Figure 38E1 part number, A dimension, fitting weight, and Class 150 ductile iron fitting information. The supplied flange specification can also help confirm general Class 150 flange dimensions and bolting requirements.
