1/4 inch Stainless Steel 90 Degree Elbow Female x Female

1/4 inch Stainless Steel 90° Elbow – Fabricated for High-Performance Bends

The 1/4 inch Stainless Steel 90 Degree Elbow provides an efficient directional change in fluid systems while maintaining system integrity. Its 90° bend is ideal for compact installations, allowing for tight turns without compromising flow performance or pressure capacity.

Industrial-Grade Performance

• Corrosion Resistance – Constructed from stainless steel, offering resistance to oxidation and corrosion, particularly in moisture-prone or chemically exposed environments.
• Pressure-Rated Design – Capable of withstanding high-pressure applications common in compressed air, hydraulic, and water distribution systems.
• Full-Port Radius – Reduces pressure drop across the bend, preserving flow characteristics in directional changes.
• Thread Integrity – Female National Pipe Thread (NPT) ends provide a secure, uniform fit for threaded connections, supporting sealing materials such as PTFE tape or anaerobic thread sealants.

Specifications

• Material: 304 Stainless Steel (or 316, depending on specification)
• Size: 1/4 inch nominal pipe size
• Connection Type: NPT Female x Female
• Angle: 90 degrees
• Wall Thickness: Conforms to Schedule 40 (unless specified otherwise)

Typical Applications

This elbow fitting is commonly used in the following systems:

• Potable water and non-potable water systems
• Hydraulic and pneumatic setups
• Instrumentation lines and gas service piping
• Food-grade and chemical processing (when 316 SS is specified)

Installation Notes

Threaded stainless fittings should be installed using compatible sealants rated for stainless steel. Avoid over-tightening to prevent thread galling. For optimal results, especially in critical systems, torque specifications should be followed according to piping standards.

Compliance & Standards

• ASTM A182 or A403 (based on forged or cast construction)
• ASME B16.11 or MSS-SP-114 for threaded fittings
• NSF 61/372 when rated for potable water use (lead-free variants)
