Matco-norca mn-ft3l9000 Forged Steel 90 Elbow CL3000

Product Description

The MATCO-NORCA mn-ft3l9000 is a forged steel threaded 90-degree elbow rated for Class 3000 service. This fitting redirects piped flow at a right angle and is designed for high-pressure piping systems where threaded connections are specified. The compact 1/8 inch size makes it suitable for instrument lines, pilot lines, and small-diameter branch connections. At 0.21 pounds, it is a lightweight but robust fitting intended for installation by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors working on industrial and commercial piping assemblies.

This elbow is used in high-pressure threaded piping systems across commercial and industrial applications, including steam, hydraulic, pneumatic, and process fluid lines that call for forged steel fittings at Class 3000 pressure ratings. The 1/8 inch thread size is common in instrument and control piping, as well as in small-bore branch connections off larger headers. It is appropriate for both new construction and retrofit work where NPT threaded forged fittings are required by specification.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style forged steel Class 3000 threaded fitting for use in high-pressure small-bore piping systems requiring 1/8 inch NPT threaded 90-degree elbows.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable mechanical and piping codes. Depressurize and isolate the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads per the system fluid and pressure requirements. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as this can damage the fitting threads or the mating pipe.
