Description
Stainless Steel 3000# Forged Street 90° Elbows - Grades 304L & 316L
Stainless Steel 3000# Forged Street 90° Elbows are designed to provide a compact 90-degree directional change while connecting a male threaded end directly into a compatible female threaded fitting or component. This street-elbow configuration can reduce the need for an additional nipple in tight piping assemblies.
Available in 304L and 316L stainless steel, these forged fittings are manufactured to recognized ASME and MSS standards for material quality, dimensional consistency, and threaded connection compatibility in demanding commercial and industrial piping systems.

Street Elbow Design
A street elbow combines a male threaded connection on one end with a female threaded connection on the other. This allows the elbow to thread directly into a compatible female fitting, valve, or equipment connection without requiring a separate nipple between components.
The compact configuration is especially useful where installation space is limited or where reducing the number of threaded joints is desirable.
3000# Forged Construction
These elbows are manufactured from forged stainless steel conforming to ASME A182. Forged construction provides a durable fitting body intended for demanding threaded piping applications.
Fitting dimensions conform to ASME B16.11, while NPT threaded connections conform to ASME B1.20.1.
304L vs. 316L Stainless Steel
304L Stainless Steel
- General-purpose stainless steel grade
- Strong corrosion resistance for many industrial applications
- Commonly used in water and process piping
- Low-carbon stainless grade
316L Stainless Steel
- Enhanced corrosion resistance for more demanding environments
- Commonly selected for marine and chloride-exposed applications
- Useful in many chemical and process piping systems
- Low-carbon stainless grade
NPT Threaded Connections
The threaded connections conform to ASME B1.20.1 for National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads. The tapered thread design is intended to create a secure mechanical connection when assembled with compatible threaded components.
Use an appropriate thread-sealing method for the piping media and application, and confirm thread size and compatibility before assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a street 90° elbow?
A street elbow has a male threaded connection on one end and a female threaded connection on the other, allowing it to connect directly into another threaded component.
How is a street elbow different from a standard 90° elbow?
A standard threaded elbow typically has female connections on both ends, while a street elbow has one male and one female connection.
What pressure class are these elbows?
These are 3000# forged stainless steel street 90° elbows.
What stainless steel grades are available?
These elbows are available in 304L and 316L stainless steel.
What material standard applies?
The forged stainless steel material conforms to ASME A182.
What dimensional standard applies?
The forged stainless steel fitting dimensions conform to ASME B16.11.
What standard applies to the threads?
NPT threads conform to ASME B1.20.1.
Why use a street elbow?
A street elbow can connect directly into a female-threaded fitting or component, which can reduce the number of fittings and threaded joints required in a compact piping assembly.
