A stainless steel (SS) elbow connector is a pipe or tube fitting used to join two sections of pipe at an angle to redirect the flow of fluid, gas, or air. [1, 2] ## Key Features and Specifications * Function: Changes the direction of a piping or tubing system—commonly by 90 degrees or 45 degrees, though 30°, 60°, and 180° bends are also available. [3, 4, 5] * Materials: Typically manufactured from austenitic grades such as SS 304, SS 304L, SS 316, or SS 316L, providing high resistance to rust, chemical corrosion, and high temperatures. [3, 6] * Connection Types: * Threaded (Male or Female, NPT/BSP) for easy screw-on assembly. * Butt Weld or Socket Weld for permanent, high-pressure industrial systems. * Compression Double-Ferrule or Instant/Push-Fit for instrumentation and pneumatic/hydraulic lines. [1, 3, 4, 7, 8] * Common Applications: Used across plumbing, water supply lines, oil and gas, chemical processing, food and beverage, and pharmaceutical industries. [1, 3, 9] If you'd like, let me know: * What size or diameter of pipe you are working with * The type of connection you need (threaded, welded, or push-fit) * What fluid or gas is flowing through the system I can help you find the exact specs or type you need.
