90° Elbow 1/2 in FNPT Stainless
This 90 degree elbow fitting connects two pipes at a right angle to change flow direction. It features female NPT threaded ends sized at 1/2 inch nominal pipe size with 14 threads per inch. The fitting is constructed from 304 stainless steel conforming to ASTM-A-182 standard. It suits high-pressure piping systems needing a durable directional change.
Class 3000 Pressure Rating Limits
The fitting carries a Class 3000 rating with a maximum pressure capacity of 3000 psi at 100 degrees F. Maximum steam pressure is rated at 2500 psi at 350 degrees F. Actual performance varies based on installation quality and operating conditions. Users must verify system pressure and temperature stay within these specified parameters.
FNPT Threaded Installation Notes
Installation requires compatible male NPT threads on both connecting pipes for proper sealing. Thread sealant or tape appropriate for stainless steel and the system media should be applied. Over-tightening can damage the 304 stainless steel threads or cause cracking. California Proposition 65 warnings indicate the product contains chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm.

Questions about this item
Should I pick the 1/2 inch FNPT version or a different size?
This fitting is only offered in 1/2 inch FNPT with 14 threads per inch, so there is no other size to choose from.
What does the Class 3000 rating mean when the elbow is installed?
It handles up to 3000 psi at 100 degrees F and 2500 psi steam at 350 degrees F, so the rating caps the maximum pressure and temperature the joint can safely hold.
How does the FNPT thread standard limit what I can connect?
The female NPT threads accept only 1/2 inch male NPT pipe or nipples, and the 14 threads per inch pitch prevents mating with BSP or other thread forms.
