Fibre-metal 69029109139 1/2 in Forged Steel Sw 45 Elbow

Product Description

The FIBRE-METAL 69029109139 is a 1/2 inch, 3000-pound class forged steel socket weld 45-degree elbow fitting manufactured to ASTM A105 carbon steel standards. This fitting is designed to change pipe direction by 45 degrees in high-pressure piping systems where socket weld connections are specified. The A105 material designation confirms it meets standard specifications for carbon steel forgings used in pressure piping. Licensed pipefitters and plumbers install this fitting in industrial, commercial, and mechanical piping systems where compact, high-integrity joints are required. The socket weld design allows the pipe to be inserted into the fitting socket before fillet welding, producing a strong, leak-resistant connection suitable for elevated pressure and temperature service.

This 45-degree elbow is suited for use in steam, hydraulic, oil, gas, and water piping systems operating at pressures consistent with 3000-pound class forged fittings. It is commonly installed in tight spaces where a full 90-degree turn is not possible or where a gradual directional change is preferred. The socket weld end configuration is appropriate for smaller pipe sizes where threaded fittings are not acceptable and butt-weld fittings are oversized for the application. Typical installations include mechanical rooms, industrial process lines, and commercial HVAC piping.

Key Features

• 3000-pound pressure class rating for high-pressure piping service
• ASTM A105 forged carbon steel construction for strength and durability
• Socket weld end connection for a fillet-welded, leak-resistant joint
• 45-degree angle provides a gradual directional change in piping runs
• 1/2 inch nominal pipe size for smaller-diameter piping systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style forged steel socket weld fitting for use with 1/2 inch nominal pipe in 3000-pound class pressure piping systems conforming to ASTM A105 carbon steel forging specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a qualified pipefitter or welder in accordance with applicable codes including ASME B31.1 or B31.3 as required by the system service classification. Depressurize and isolate the piping system completely before cutting into any existing line. The pipe end must be fully inserted into the socket weld bore to the proper depth before fillet welding to ensure joint integrity. Do not use this fitting in systems where the service pressure or temperature exceeds the rating for the 3000-pound class A105 forging designation.
