Midland Industries SS1501-06-06 90-deg Swivel Elbow 3/8in

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES SS1501-06-06 is a 90-degree swivel elbow fitting designed for high-pressure fluid and gas piping systems. Part of the SS1501 Series, it connects a 3/8-inch Male NPTF thread on one end to a 3/8-inch Female NPSM swivel on the other, allowing rotational adjustment during assembly without introducing thread stress. Constructed from 316 stainless steel, it is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 7800 psig and can withstand operating temperatures up to 1000 degrees F. This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors working with corrosion-resistant piping systems.

The SS1501-06-06 is suited for industrial and commercial piping applications where corrosion resistance, high pressure tolerance, and angular routing are required. The swivel design simplifies installation in tight or fixed-position assemblies where rotating the fitting body is not practical. Thread sizes are 3/8-18 on both connections, conforming to NPTF and NPSM thread standards. It is a common choice in chemical processing, hydraulic, and instrumentation piping where 316 stainless steel is specified for media compatibility.

Key Features

• Rated to 7800 psig maximum operating pressure for demanding high-pressure service
• Rated to 1000 degrees F operating temperature for high-heat applications
• 3/8-inch Male NPTF x 3/8-inch Female NPSM Swivel configuration with matching 3/8-18 thread pitch on both ends

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style swivel elbow adapter for industrial and commercial piping systems requiring 3/8-inch NPTF male to NPSM female swivel connections in 316 stainless steel. Part of the MIDLAND INDUSTRIES SS1501 Series of male pipe to female pipe swivel elbows.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or licensed plumber familiar with NPTF and NPSM thread engagement requirements. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any fitting. NPTF threads are self-sealing by thread interference; verify thread condition and use appropriate thread sealant per system media requirements. Do not over-torque, as stainless steel threads are susceptible to galling.
