Alfa Laval 240012 Tri-clamp Weld 90 Degree Elbow 3 in

Product Description

The ALFA LAVAL 240012 is a 3-inch 316 stainless steel tri-clamp weld 90-degree elbow designed for sanitary piping systems. Conforming to the L2S-7 standard, this fitting provides a 90-degree change of direction in process lines where cleanliness, corrosion resistance, and leak-free connections are required. The weld end allows permanent attachment to compatible tubing, while the tri-clamp end accepts standard sanitary clamp fittings. It is typically installed by pipefitters, plumbers, and process technicians working on food, beverage, dairy, pharmaceutical, or industrial fluid systems.

This elbow is suited for sanitary and industrial process piping applications where 316 stainless steel is specified for its elevated corrosion resistance. The 3-inch size fits standard tri-clamp sanitary tubing at that diameter. Typical installations include process lines requiring directional changes in confined equipment layouts, skid-mounted systems, and hygienic fluid transfer lines.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for strong corrosion resistance in sanitary and chemical environments
• 90-degree elbow geometry for directional changes in process piping runs
• Tri-clamp end compatible with standard sanitary clamp fittings at 3 inches
• Weld end for permanent, leak-free attachment to matching stainless tubing
• L2S-7 standard configuration for consistent fitment in sanitary system builds

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style sanitary fitting compatible with standard 3-inch tri-clamp sanitary piping systems using L2S-7 geometry.

Installation Notes

Installation of welded sanitary fittings should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or welder familiar with sanitary tubing practices and applicable codes. Depressurize and drain the process line fully before cutting into any existing piping. The weld end requires proper purge welding technique to maintain interior surface integrity for sanitary service. Verify tri-clamp gasket compatibility and clamp torque requirements per the system design specification before returning the line to service.
