Product Details
The Merit 316 SS Schedule 40 long radius 45 degree elbow 8 butt-weld is designed for optimal pipe connections, utilizing butt welding, which is the most preferred method for joining pipes. This fitting requires that the wall thickness and diameter of the pipe be consistent with the fitting, allowing for a beveled end that forms a groove to securely hold the weld filler. The benefits of using butt weld fittings include lower cost, reduced maintenance, and greater strength compared to threaded joints.
