Product Description

The Merit Brass stainless steel 304 cast pipe fitting is a 90-degree elbow with female National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads and is used to change flow direction between two pipes. Made of stainless steel 304, this class 150 elbow ensures higher corrosion resistance than 302 grade steel and it meets standards ANSI B1.20.1 and ISO 49 for quality assurance. Class is a standard relating to tolerance, construction, dimension and wall thickness but is not a direct measurement of maximum working pressure. Pipe fittings are components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in many different industries. When purchasing pipe fittings, consider the application, as this will affect material type, shape, size and required durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in many shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness). Merit Brass manufactures pipe nipples following ISO 9001 standards for quality assurance. Family-owned since 1937, the company is based in Cleveland, OH. Merit Brass distributes pipe fittings to the United States and Canada.
