Plumbeeze U2-SSE-02 Stainless Steel 90 Degree Fip Elbow

Product Description

The PLUMBEEZE U2-SSE-02 is a 1/4-inch female iron pipe (FIP) 90-degree elbow fitting machined from No. 304 stainless steel. The 90-degree bend — also called a 1/4 bend — redirects threaded piping runs at a right angle without reducing flow path diameter. Rated for potable water service and built to ISO 4144 standards, this fitting delivers high corrosion resistance in wet, buried, and chemically aggressive environments. At 0.066 pounds, it is a compact, single-piece fitting suited for tight installation spaces. Plumbers, irrigation technicians, and agricultural facility maintenance crews are the primary installers.

This fitting is appropriate for a wide range of residential, commercial, and agricultural applications. Common uses include potable water supply lines, underground irrigation distribution systems, barn and livestock watering systems, and any installation where galvanic corrosion, soil chemicals, or continuous moisture exposure would degrade brass or iron fittings. The No. 304 alloy resists oxidation in both above-grade and buried service conditions, making it a dependable choice where long-term fitting integrity is a priority.

Key Features

• No. 304 stainless steel construction for high corrosion resistance in potable, buried, and agricultural service
• 1/4-inch FIP threads on both ends for direct connection to standard threaded pipe and fittings
• 90-degree (1/4 bend) geometry for right-angle directional changes in threaded piping runs
• Meets ISO 4144 standards for stainless steel pipe fittings
• Suitable for potable water, irrigation, underground, and high-moisture environments

Compatibility

Designed for use in threaded piping systems requiring 1/4-inch FIP connections, including potable water, underground irrigation, and agricultural applications where No. 304 stainless steel fittings are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified irrigation technician in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Always use a quality pipe joint compound or PTFE tape formulated specifically for stainless steel fittings — standard compounds may cause galling or corrosion at the threaded joint. Turn off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Do not overtighten; use a calibrated pipe wrench and follow standard thread engagement practices for FIP fittings to avoid thread damage.
