Manufactured from 316L stainless steel, this fitting delivers corrosion resistance suitable for demanding fluid handling applications. The short radius design allows for tighter directional changes in confined piping runs compared to standard long radius elbows. Rated to Schedule 10 wall thickness, it is well suited for lower-pressure systems where weight and material savings are priorities. Licensed pipefitters and welding professionals are the primary installers of this type of fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis elbow is used in Schedule 10 piping systems across industrial process, chemical, food service, marine, and similar environments where 316L stainless steel is specified for its enhanced resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion. The butt weld end connections on both ends require proper fit-up and full-penetration welding per applicable codes. The 1-inch fitting size suits a wide range of light-to-medium industrial pipe runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e316L stainless steel construction for improved corrosion resistance in aggressive environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e90-degree short radius configuration for tight-space directional changes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eButt weld x butt weld end connections for full-penetration welded joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 10 wall thickness for lightweight, lower-pressure piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-inch fitting size for standard nominal pipe sizing compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard component for 1-inch Schedule 10 stainless steel butt weld piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a qualified pipefitter or certified welder. Depressurize and drain the piping system fully before cutting in or replacing any fitting. Butt weld joints must be fit, tacked, and welded in accordance with ASME B31.3 or the applicable piping code for the installation. Avoid forcing misaligned pipe ends into the fitting, as this can introduce stress at the weld joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: 90 Degree Short Radius Elbow\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 316L Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: Butt Weld x Butt Weld\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.094 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40175300\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MERIT BRASS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 01608-16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51544025792818,"sku":"01608-16","price":105.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1e4ebe9810a9c1bf36b6088d742bc5a2_858fb05b-180c-4ab8-9cd1-accfb978970a.jpg?v=1785923159","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-01608-16-90-short-radius-elbow-1-in-316l-ss-butt-weld","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
