Midland Industries SS5500-12-12 90-deg Male Pipe Elbow 3/4 Nptf

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES SS5500-12-12 is a 90-degree male pipe elbow designed for high-pressure and high-temperature fluid and gas piping systems. Machined from 316 stainless steel, it provides strong corrosion resistance in demanding environments. Both connections are 3/4-inch male NPTF with a 3/4-14 thread form, rated to 7300 psi and 1000 degrees F. This fitting is used to change flow direction 90 degrees within a threaded pipe assembly. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting in industrial, commercial, and process piping applications where stainless steel is specified for corrosion or temperature resistance.

The SS5500-12-12 fits into the SS5500 Series of MNPT elbows and is appropriate for use in systems handling corrosive media, steam, hydraulic lines, or high-temperature fluids. Its all-male NPTF configuration makes it suitable for connecting to female-threaded ports or couplings on both ends, allowing a direction change without additional adapters. It is well-suited for industrial process lines, marine plumbing, chemical handling, and commercial HVAC or plumbing installations where stainless steel construction and pressure integrity are required.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in harsh or wet environments
• 90-degree elbow changes flow direction without additional fittings
• Both ends are 3/4-inch male NPTF, ensuring pressure-tight threaded connections
• Rated to 7300 psi for use in high-pressure piping systems
• Temperature rating of 1000 degrees F suits steam and high-heat applications
• 3/4-14 thread form for standard NPTF compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded fitting for use with 3/4-inch female NPTF ports and couplings in industrial, commercial, and mechanical piping systems requiring 316 stainless steel construction.

Installation Notes

Installation of this fitting should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing and mechanical codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Depressurize and isolate the piping system fully before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Use an appropriate thread sealant rated for the system pressure and temperature when making up NPTF connections. Do not over-tighten, as this can damage the tapered thread form and compromise the seal.
