Eaton 3500X8 90 Degree Female Pipe Elbow 1/2 Inch Fnptf

Product Description

The EATON 3500X8 is a 90-degree female pipe elbow rated for industrial and commercial pipe systems. Threaded on both ends with a 1/2-inch FNPTF (Female National Pipe Taper Fuel) connection, this fitting redirects flow at a right angle within a pipe run. It carries a maximum working pressure of 1,200 psi and handles temperatures from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F, making it suitable for demanding fluid and fuel line applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians install this type of fitting during new construction or repair work on pressurized pipe assemblies.

This elbow is designed for use in industrial pipe systems where a 90-degree directional change is required at a 1/2-inch threaded connection point. Typical applications include fuel lines, hydraulic supply lines, compressed air systems, and general-purpose fluid transfer in both commercial and light industrial environments. The FNPTF thread standard ensures a pressure-tight seal consistent with SAE J30238 requirements, supporting reliable connections in high-pressure service.

Key Features

• 90-degree female-to-female elbow for right-angle pipe routing
• 1/2-inch FNPTF threads on both ports for pressure-tight connections
• Rated to 1,200 psi maximum working pressure
• Wide temperature range: -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F
• Meets SAE J30238 thread and pressure standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fitting for 1/2-inch FNPTF threaded pipe assemblies in industrial, commercial, and mechanical systems requiring a 90-degree female elbow.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the International Plumbing Code or relevant ASME piping standards. Depressurize and isolate the pipe system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant compatible with the media being conveyed to the FNPTF threads before making up the connection. Do not overtighten threaded fittings, as this can damage threads and compromise the pressure seal.
