Socket Weld Elbow 150LB 316L
Built for precision and durability, the Socket Weld Elbow 150LB 316L is a low pressure stainless steel pipe fitting engineered to redirect small diameter pipelines at a clean 45° angle. The pipe inserts directly into a recessed socket before being fillet welded into place, forming a tight, structurally sound joint that holds firm under demanding conditions. Rated for pressures up to 20 bar (300 psi), it delivers reliable performance across a broad range of moderate pressure applications.
What sets this fitting apart is its low-carbon 316L stainless steel construction. This grade offers superior resistance to corrosion and, critically, guards against intergranular corrosion that can occur in the heat affected zone after welding,-a common failure point in lesser materials. The result is a fitting that maintains its integrity long after installation, even in chemically aggressive or high moisture environments.
- Its versatility makes it a trusted choice across industries. From chemical processing and food and beverage production to marine systems and water treatment facilities, the Socket Weld Elbow 150LB 316L handles the transport of hot and cold water, oils, fuels, and mild chemical or gas lines with equal competence. For small-bore pipe runs that demand smooth, leak-free directional changes under moderate pressure.
