Product Details
The Merit 316 SS Schedule 40 short radius 90 degree elbow 1-1/2 butt-weld includes butt welding, which is the preferred method for joining pipe connections, requiring the fittings to have matching wall thickness and diameter as the pipes they connect. Both the pipe and fitting are beveled to form a groove that accommodates weld filler. The advantages of using butt weld fittings include lower cost, reduced maintenance, and enhanced strength compared to threaded joints.
