Description
304 Stainless Steel 150# 90° Threaded Elbow - SP112
Charman Inc 304 Stainless Steel 150# 90° Threaded Elbows - SP112 provide a durable, corrosion-resistant solution for making a 90-degree directional change in threaded piping systems. Available in nominal pipe sizes from 1/8" through 4", these stainless steel elbows are suited for industrial, commercial, mechanical, utility, and process-piping applications.
Female NPT connections at both ends allow the elbow to connect compatible male-threaded pipe, nipples, fittings, and equipment connections without welding. The right-angle configuration makes the SP112 90° elbow a practical choice where piping must turn around equipment, structures, walls, or other installation constraints.

What Is an SP112 90° Threaded Elbow?
The Charman Inc SP112 90° threaded elbow is a stainless steel fitting designed to create a right-angle directional change in a threaded piping run. Female NPT connections at both ends accept compatible male-threaded piping components of the same nominal pipe size.
90-degree elbows are commonly used wherever piping must turn sharply around equipment, structures, walls, or other obstructions. They are also widely used in mechanical rooms, process piping, equipment connections, utility systems, and fabricated threaded assemblies.
Why Choose a 304 Stainless Steel SP112 90° Elbow?
304 Stainless Steel Construction
- Provides good general corrosion resistance
- Suitable for many industrial and commercial piping environments
- Durable construction for threaded piping systems
- Useful where stainless steel piping components are specified
- Well suited for process, utility, mechanical, and equipment applications
90° Directional Change
- Creates a right-angle change in piping direction
- Useful for compact piping layouts
- Helps route piping around equipment and structural obstructions
- Female NPT connections at both ends
- No welding required for threaded assembly
Common Applications
Industrial & Process Piping
- Process piping systems
- Industrial utility piping
- Equipment connections
- Threaded stainless steel assemblies
- Maintenance and repair installations
Commercial & Mechanical Systems
- Commercial plumbing systems
- Mechanical piping installations
- Right-angle pipe routing
- Equipment and manifold connections
- Fabricated threaded assemblies
90° Elbow vs. 45° Elbow
A 90° elbow creates a full right-angle turn in a piping system, while a 45° elbow creates a more gradual directional change. A 90° elbow is typically selected when piping must make a compact or direct turn within the available installation space.
The SP112 fittings in this listing are equal-size 90° elbows with female NPT connections at both ends.
Where an SP112 90° Elbow Makes Sense
- Creating a 90-degree change in piping direction
- Routing piping around walls, structures, or equipment
- Building compact threaded piping layouts
- Connecting threaded equipment at right angles
- Industrial process and utility piping
- Mechanical-room installations
- Maintenance, repair, and retrofit projects

Installation & Selection Guidance
- Confirm the required nominal pipe size before ordering.
- Verify that both mating components have compatible male NPT connections.
- Confirm that a 90-degree directional change is appropriate for the piping layout.
- Confirm that 304 stainless steel is compatible with the intended service.
- Inspect fitting and mating threads for damage or contamination before assembly.
- Use a thread-sealing method appropriate for the system media, temperature, pressure, and application.
- Begin threaded assembly carefully to reduce the risk of cross-threading.
- Tighten connections using appropriate tools and accepted threaded-piping practices.
- Avoid excessive tightening that could damage the fitting or mating threads.
- Support connected piping to avoid excessive mechanical loading on the elbow.
- Confirm system pressure and temperature requirements before installation.
- Pressure-test completed piping assemblies where required.
- Installation should be completed by qualified personnel and in accordance with applicable codes and specifications.
Product Selection Considerations
Nominal Pipe Size
Select the SP112 90° elbow based on the nominal pipe size of the male NPT piping components being connected. Both openings on each elbow are the same nominal size.
Required Direction Change
Choose a 90° elbow when a right-angle turn is required. If a more gradual directional change or offset is preferred, a 45° threaded elbow may be more appropriate.
