Merit Brass SW3401D-02 90 Degree Pipe Elbow 1/8 in 304 Ss

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS SW3401D-02 is a 90-degree pipe elbow fitting designed for high-pressure piping systems. Constructed from 304 stainless steel, this fitting provides reliable corrosion resistance in demanding service environments. It features a socket weld by socket weld end connection with threaded engagement and is rated for service up to 3000 psi. The compact 1/8-inch fitting size makes it suited for tight piping configurations where directional changes are required. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting in industrial and commercial fluid handling systems where material integrity and pressure performance are critical.

This elbow fitting is intended for use in socket weld piping assemblies where a 90-degree change of direction is needed at 1/8-inch line size. Typical applications include instrument tubing, hydraulic lines, compressed air systems, and process piping installations operating at elevated pressures. The 304 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments exposed to moisture, mild chemicals, or conditions requiring a hygienic-grade alloy. It is sold individually, making it practical for single-point repairs as well as new construction.

Key Features

• Socket weld by socket weld end connection with threaded engagement
• 1/8-inch fitting size for small-diameter line installations
• Sold as a single unit with a minimum order quantity of one

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/8-inch socket weld piping systems requiring a 90-degree elbow in 304 stainless steel at 3000 psi service ratings.

Installation Notes

Socket weld fittings of this type are installed by qualified pipefitters or plumbers in accordance with applicable codes such as ASME B16.11 and local mechanical codes. Shut down and fully depressurize the piping system before disassembly or installation. Socket weld connections require proper fit-up and welding by a certified welder — do not substitute mechanical assembly methods where welding is specified. Inspect the socket bore and pipe end for burrs or contamination before assembly to ensure a sound weld joint.
