Merit Brass SWM602-12 45 Degree Elbow 3/4 in 316 Ss

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS SWM602-12 is a 45-degree pipe elbow fitting designed for socket weld installation in industrial and commercial piping systems. Constructed from 316 stainless steel, this fitting offers strong resistance to corrosion and elevated temperatures, making it well suited for demanding fluid handling applications. The threaded end connection and socket weld design provide a reliable mechanical joint rated to 150 psi. At 0.324 pounds, the fitting is compact and easy to handle during installation. Licensed pipefitters and plumbers commonly specify 316 SS fittings where corrosive media, high-moisture environments, or sanitary requirements are present.

This elbow is intended for use in 3/4-inch pipe runs where a 45-degree change in direction is required. Typical applications include process piping, chemical lines, food and beverage systems, marine installations, and industrial fluid systems where corrosion resistance is a priority. The socket weld by socket weld end configuration suits permanent, high-integrity pipe assemblies. It is sold individually and is appropriate for both new construction and maintenance or repair work on existing piping systems.

Key Features

• 45-degree elbow geometry for moderate directional changes in tight pipe runs
• 316 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in harsh or wet environments
• Socket weld by socket weld end connection for strong, permanent pipe joints
• Threaded connection type for secure, leak-resistant assembly
• 150 psi pressure rating suitable for a wide range of industrial service conditions
• Fits 3/4-inch pipe — no adapters required for standard 3/4-inch piping systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 3/4-inch socket weld piping systems requiring 316 stainless steel construction and a 45-degree elbow configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or plumber in accordance with applicable mechanical and plumbing codes. Isolate and depressurize the pipe system fully before removing or installing any fitting. Socket weld fittings require proper fit-up and qualified welding procedures — do not substitute weld methods not rated for the system pressure and media. Verify that all joint surfaces are clean and free of debris before assembly.
