Stainless Steel 316 Male Elbow, 90 Degree, 3/8 * 1/2 Inch

Product Type: 90-degree male elbow tube connector with double-ferrule compression structure
Material Specification: 316 stainless steel
Tube Side Dimension: 3/8 inch, adopts a twin-ferrule compression tube joint
Thread Port Dimension and Pressure Grade: 1/2 inch male NPT thread, pressure class 3000
Joint Layout: 3/8 inch tube * 1/2 inch male NPT, 90-degree elbow form

End Structure

One terminal: Double ferrule compression assembly for tube linking; front and rear ferrules are visible under the fastening nut
Opposite terminal: Tapered male NPT pipe thread
Surface Treatment: Bright machined surface, laser marking of material grade "316" plus batch identifiers for traceability
Main Body Construction: Single piece forged and machined 90° elbow, weld-free structure

Core Strengths

Dependable leakproof sealing: The twin ferrule compression setup forms metal-on-metal sealing on the tube side. Tube flaring, welding, or brazing is not required. The joint can be reassembled and simplifies maintenance tasks.

High-pressure capability: 3000 class NPT thread meets the requirements of high-pressure instrument and process tubing service.

Broad anti-corrosion performance: 316 stainless steel construction offers protection against many corrosive process fluids and adapts to outdoor and marine working environments.
Space-efficient 90° layout: Elbow design changes tubing routing directly. It removes extra elbow components, cuts the total number of joints, and lowers potential leakage points.

Complete material traceability: The fitting body carries laser-etched material grade and heat batch codes. It supports QA and QC checks and material certificate management, which is essential for oil and gas and EPC project paperwork.

Application Scenarios

This fitting serves instrument tubing networks, pressure gauge and transmitter hookups, sample piping, as well as pneumatic and hydraulic control lines within oil & gas, petrochemical, and EPC projects. It is selected when a compact 90° transition between tubing and NPT thread is required for high-pressure instrument panels or modular process skids.
