Stainless Steel 316 Pipe Bend
An 87.5° bend fitting used to change the direction of flow within a pipework or drainage system. This angle is commonly selected over a full 90° elbow in drainage applications, as it supports smoother flow characteristics and reduces the likelihood of blockages.
Manufactured from 316/316L stainless steel, this fitting contains molybdenum, which provides improved resistance to corrosion when compared with 304 stainless steel. This makes it a suitable option for aggressive environments, wash down areas, marine atmospheres, and a range of chemical applications.
Fittings of this type are widely used across building drainage systems, food and beverage processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, brewing and dairy plants, chemical processing, marine and offshore installations, industrial wastewater systems, and hygienic process piping networks.
