Construction Details

Constructed from low-carbon 316/L stainless steel to provide exceptional corrosion resistance while minimizing carbide precipitation during welding for improved long-term reliability.

The 45-degree elbow geometry promotes efficient flow with lower pressure drop than sharper directional changes, making it suitable for a wide variety of process piping applications.

Precision manufactured to ASME B16.9 dimensional requirements for accurate fit-up, consistent alignment, and dependable field installation.

Important Notes

Designed for use with compatible Schedule 40S stainless steel pipe and butt weld fittings.

Professional welding procedures should be followed to ensure maximum joint integrity and corrosion resistance.

Verify pipe schedule, fitting dimensions, material compatibility, pressure requirements, and applicable piping codes before installation.
