Merit Brass 3602D-20 45 Degree Pipe Elbow 1-1/4 in Ss

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 3602D-20 is a 45-degree pipe elbow fitting designed for use in high-pressure piping systems. Constructed from 316 and 316L stainless steel, this fitting delivers strong corrosion resistance in demanding environments including chemical processing, marine, and industrial fluid handling applications. It features female NPT connections on both ends (FNPT x FNPT) and carries a pressure rating of 3,000 psi, making it suitable for high-integrity piping runs. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters commonly install this type of fitting in commercial and industrial service lines where corrosion resistance and pressure performance are required.

This 45-degree elbow is sized at 1-1/4 inches and is well suited for moderate-to-large diameter piping systems in commercial and industrial settings. The FNPT x FNPT end connections allow straightforward installation into standard threaded pipe runs. Applications include process piping, water service, chemical lines, and other systems where stainless steel construction is specified for longevity and fluid compatibility.

Key Features

• 45-degree elbow geometry for directional changes in threaded pipe runs
• 316 and 316L stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance
• 3,000 psi pressure rating suitable for high-pressure service
• FNPT x FNPT end connections compatible with standard NPT threaded pipe
• 1-1/4 inch fitting size for moderate-to-large diameter piping systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded pipe fitting for use in standard NPT piping systems requiring 1-1/4 inch 45-degree directional change with female threaded connections on both ends.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local and national plumbing codes, including the IPC where applicable. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can cause cracking in stainless steel fittings.
