Built from 316 stainless steel, this fitting handles a working pressure of 150 psi and connects via female NPT threads on both ends. At 2-1\/2 inches, it suits mid-to-large diameter piping runs where a 45-degree directional change is needed. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting in industrial, commercial, and marine environments where 316 stainless is specified for its superior resistance to chlorides and harsh process fluids.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is suited for use in plumbing, process piping, and fluid-handling systems where a 45-degree change in flow direction is required at a 2-1\/2-inch pipe connection. Typical applications include chemical processing lines, marine plumbing, food and beverage piping, and coastal or offshore installations where standard 304 stainless or carbon steel fittings would be subject to accelerated corrosion. The FNPT x FNPT end connections allow direct threaded engagement with standard NPT male-threaded pipe ends or nipples.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e316 stainless steel construction provides strong resistance to chloride-induced corrosion and pitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e150 psi pressure rating suitable for low-to-medium pressure piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFNPT x FNPT end connections for straightforward threaded assembly with standard NPT pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e45-degree elbow geometry for moderate directional changes without sharp 90-degree turns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-1\/2-inch fitting size for mid-to-large diameter pipe runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style threaded fitting for use with standard 2-1\/2-inch NPT male-threaded pipe in 150-class stainless steel piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC. Shut off system pressure and drain the line before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads before engagement. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as stainless steel fittings are susceptible to galling if excessive torque is applied without lubrication.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: 45 Degree Elbow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 316 Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: FNPT x FNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.65 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40175300\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: K602-40\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542248948018,"sku":"K602-40","price":83.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/167a414e5d72e3f442f217377ce3855b.jpg?v=1785896347","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-k602-40-45-deg-pipe-elbow-2-1-2-in-316-ss-fnpt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
