Matco-norca mn-ft3l9002 Forged Steel 90 Elbow 3/8 in CL3000

Product Description

The MATCO-NORCA mn-ft3l9002 is a forged steel threaded 90-degree elbow rated for Class 3000 service. This high-pressure pipe fitting redirects flow at a right angle in threaded piping systems. Constructed from forged steel, it delivers the wall thickness and mechanical strength required for demanding industrial and commercial plumbing applications. The Class 3000 pressure rating makes it suitable for high-pressure steam, water, oil, and gas lines where socket-weld or threaded connections are specified. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as part of code-compliant threaded piping assemblies.

This elbow is designed for use in high-pressure threaded piping systems across industrial, commercial, and mechanical room applications. The 3/8 inch size suits branch lines and instrument connections in process piping, HVAC mechanical systems, and steam distribution networks. It is appropriate wherever a forged steel Class 3000 fitting is called out on a piping specification or isometric drawing.

Key Features

• Forged steel construction provides superior strength and pressure integrity over cast fittings
• Class 3000 pressure rating suitable for high-pressure steam, gas, water, and oil service
• 90-degree elbow geometry redirects flow at a right angle in threaded piping runs
• 3/8 inch threaded end connections for standard NPT pipe engagement
• Compact forged body minimizes installation footprint in tight mechanical spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard forged steel threaded fitting for Class 3000 high-pressure threaded piping systems using 3/8 inch NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable mechanical and plumbing codes. Depressurize, isolate, and drain the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly, and tighten to proper engagement using a pipe wrench without over-torquing the fitting body. Verify system pressure rating after returning the line to service.
