Socket-weld ends provide welded connections for compatible stainless steel piping systems.
Common Applications
Industrial & Process Piping
- Industrial piping systems
- Process piping
- Utility piping
- Equipment connections
- Fabricated piping assemblies
- Stainless steel piping systems
Commercial & Mechanical Piping
- Commercial mechanical systems
- Equipment rooms
- Right-angle piping transitions
- Directional routing changes
- Welded stainless steel piping
- Pipe routing around equipment and obstructions
Selecting the Correct Elbow
Select the elbow according to the nominal pipe size required by the piping system. These fittings are manufactured from 316 stainless steel and use socket-weld connections on both ends.
A 90-degree elbow is appropriate when the piping layout requires a right-angle directional change. For a more gradual offset, select a 45-degree elbow instead.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 90° socket weld elbow used for?
A 90° socket weld elbow changes the direction of a welded piping run by 90 degrees. It is commonly used for right-angle transitions and routing piping around equipment or structural obstructions.
What material are these elbows made from?
These elbows are manufactured from 316 stainless steel.
What connections does this elbow use?
The elbow has socket-weld connections on both ends.
What pressure class are these fittings?
These stainless steel socket weld elbows are 150 lb class fittings.
What sizes are available?
Available nominal pipe sizes are 1/2", 3/4", 1", 1-1/4", 1-1/2", and 2".
What is the difference between a 90° and 45° elbow?
A 90° elbow creates a right-angle change in piping direction, while a 45° elbow provides a more gradual directional transition.
Is this fitting threaded?
No. These elbows use socket-weld connections rather than NPT threaded connections.
Are these elbows suitable for every fluid or process?
Material and fitting suitability depend on the media, operating pressure, temperature, piping specification, and other system requirements. Confirm that 316 stainless steel and a 150 lb socket weld fitting are appropriate for the intended application.
