Legend Valve 404-029 stainless elbow
The Legend Valve 404-029 is a 45-degree long-radius elbow fitting made from 304 stainless steel. It uses FNPT x FNPT end connections to join two female-threaded pipes in industrial plumbing systems. This component redirects flow where a 45-degree turn is required. It is rated for pressures up to 290 psi at temperatures between -4 and 100°F.
Replaces worn or mismatched fittings
Install this elbow when an existing fitting leaks, corrodes, or no longer meets the system pressure class. The jump is worth it if the current fitting cannot handle 218 psi at 302°F or 239 psi at 212°F. It also satisfies lead-free requirements per applicable standards. Do not use it where a 90-degree turn or a different thread standard is specified.
Verify pipe size and fluid compatibility
Confirm that both pipe ends match the FNPT thread form and the nominal diameter required by your layout. Check that the operating temperature and pressure stay within the listed ratings of 290 psi at 100°F down to 218 psi at 302°F. Ensure the conveyed fluid is compatible with 304 stainless steel and that Proposition 65 warnings are addressed for your jurisdiction.

Questions about this item
What thread size and type does the 2-1/2 inch elbow require for installation?
The fitting uses FNPT x FNPT end connections, so both sides need matching 2-1/2 inch NPT male threads to seal properly.
Which step is most often missed when threading this stainless steel elbow?
Apply PTFE tape or pipe dope only on the male threads, then tighten to the manufacturer's torque spec — over-tightening can distort the 304 stainless seats.
How often should the 304 stainless elbow be inspected or replaced in a high-temperature water system?
Inspect annually; the pressure rating drops from 290 psi at 100°F to 218 psi at 302°F, so verify no leakage or deformation as the system cycles through that range.
