Midland Industries SS5505-12-12 45-deg Female Pipe Elbow

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES SS5505-12-12 is a 45-degree female union pipe elbow designed for high-pressure and high-temperature piping systems. This fitting connects two female NPTF threaded lines at a 45-degree angle, allowing directional changes in tight plumbing runs. Constructed from 316 stainless steel, it is rated for up to 4600 psig maximum operating pressure and temperatures up to 1000 degrees F. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting in demanding service environments where corrosion resistance and pressure integrity are required.

This elbow is suited for use in industrial, commercial, and specialty trade applications where standard carbon steel fittings are not appropriate. The 316 stainless steel construction makes it a reliable choice for corrosive media, chemical exposure, steam service, and high-heat process lines. Both connection ends are 3/4 inch NPTF, making this fitting compatible with standard 3/4-inch female national pipe taper fuel thread configurations on both sides of the joint.

Key Features

• 45-degree union elbow geometry for directional piping changes without sacrificing flow capacity
• 316 stainless steel construction for excellent corrosion and oxidation resistance
• 4600 psig maximum operating pressure rating suitable for high-pressure service lines
• 1000 degrees F maximum operating temperature for steam and high-heat applications
• 3/4 - 14 NPTF thread on both ends for leak-resistant tapered thread engagement
• Female x female configuration allows connection between two male-threaded pipe ends or adapters

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 3/4 inch NPTF female threaded piping systems requiring a 45-degree union elbow in stainless steel construction. Part of the SS5505 Series FNPT 45-Degree Union Elbow product family from MIDLAND INDUSTRIES.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC where relevant to the service application. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before beginning any work on the fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant rated for the operating pressure, temperature, and media type before threading the fitting into place. Do not over-tighten, as NPTF tapered threads achieve a pressure seal through proper thread engagement, not excessive torque.
