Matco-norca mn-ft3l9005 1 Inch Forged Steel 90 Elbow

Product Description

The MATCO-NORCA mn-ft3l9005 is a Class 3000 forged steel threaded 90-degree elbow designed for high-pressure piping systems. This fitting changes flow direction by 90 degrees and connects via threaded ends on both sides. It is built for demanding service where pressure ratings and material strength matter. At 2.28 pounds, it is a solid, full-bodied fitting suited for industrial, commercial, and mechanical piping work. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting in steam, gas, oil, water, and hydraulic piping systems where a standard malleable iron fitting would not meet the pressure requirement.

Class 3000 forged steel threaded fittings are commonly used in high-pressure piping runs in commercial mechanical rooms, industrial process lines, and oilfield applications. The 1-inch threaded connection makes it compatible with standard NPT pipe in the same nominal size. This elbow is appropriate wherever a 90-degree directional change is needed in a threaded high-pressure piping circuit. It is typically used in applications that exceed the pressure limitations of standard Class 150 or Class 300 malleable iron fittings.

Key Features

• Class 3000 pressure rating for high-pressure piping service
• Forged steel construction for superior strength over cast fittings
• 90-degree elbow geometry for direction changes in threaded pipe runs
• 1-inch nominal size with standard NPT threaded ends
• Suitable for steam, gas, oil, water, and hydraulic service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use forged steel threaded fitting for 1-inch NPT high-pressure piping systems requiring Class 3000 fittings per ASME B16.11 standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable mechanical codes such as the International Plumbing Code or ASME B31.3. Depressurize and isolate the piping system fully before removing or installing any fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before making up threaded joints. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as forged steel fittings can crack the pipe threads if excessive force is applied.
