Matco-norca mn-ft3l9007 Forged Steel 90 Elbow 1-1/2 in CL3000

Product Description

The MATCO-NORCA mn-ft3l9007 is a Class 3000 forged steel threaded 90-degree elbow designed for high-pressure pipe systems. This fitting redirects flow at a right angle and connects via standard tapered threads on both ends. At 1-1/2 inches, it suits medium-diameter pipe runs in industrial, commercial, and mechanical piping applications. Forged steel construction delivers the wall thickness and pressure rating required for demanding service conditions. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this fitting where threaded connections are specified and where system pressure or temperature rules out lower-rated fittings.

This elbow is used in steam, hydraulic, pneumatic, and high-pressure water piping systems where a 90-degree change in direction is needed. Class 3000 fittings are selected for schedule 80 pipe applications and are common in industrial plants, boiler rooms, mechanical rooms, and commercial construction. The threaded end connections allow installation without welding, making it practical for retrofits, repairs, and new construction where weld fittings are not required.

Key Features

• Class 3000 pressure rating suitable for high-pressure threaded pipe systems
• Forged steel construction for superior strength and pressure containment
• 1-1/2 inch size for medium-diameter piping applications
• 90-degree elbow geometry for right-angle flow redirection
• Threaded ends allow tool-only installation without welding equipment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for Class 3000 threaded forged steel piping systems using 1-1/2 inch schedule 80 pipe.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable codes such as ASME B16.11 and the International Plumbing Code. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing any existing fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly and tighten to snug with pipe wrenches. Do not over-torque forged fittings or use impact tools, as thread damage will compromise the pressure rating of the joint.
