Product Details
The Merit 316 SS Schedule 40 long radius 45 degree elbow (1-1/2 butt-weld) is designed for the most preferred method of joining pipe connections through butt welding. This elbow fitting ensures that the wall thickness and diameter match those of the connecting pipe, as both the pipe and the fitting are beveled. This design allows the ends to butt together, forming a groove to securely hold the weld filler. Advantages of using butt weld fittings include lower cost, reduced maintenance, and increased strength compared to threaded joints.
