Service Metal ss908 Carbon Steel 90 Degree Sr Elbow 8 in

Product Description

The SERVICE METAL ss908 is an 8-inch carbon steel butt weld short radius 90-degree elbow designed for industrial and commercial piping systems. This fitting redirects flow at a 90-degree angle using a short radius sweep, which is useful in tight-space routing where a long radius elbow will not fit. At 32.40 pounds, this is a heavy-duty fitting intended for welded steel pipe assemblies. It is installed by certified pipe welders and pipefitters working on process, mechanical, or HVAC piping systems that require a permanent, high-integrity butt weld connection.

The ss908 is suited for commercial and industrial piping applications where carbon steel construction and butt weld end connections are specified. Short radius elbows are commonly used in mechanical rooms, process piping runs, and equipment connections where space is constrained and a standard long radius sweep cannot be accommodated. This fitting is an import product and is appropriate for systems designed to standard pipe fitting dimensions.

Key Features

• 8-inch fitting size for large-diameter steel piping systems
• 90-degree short radius elbow configuration for tight directional changes
• Carbon steel butt weld construction for permanent, full-penetration weld joints
• Standard wall weight at 32.40 pounds per fitting
• Short radius design reduces space requirements compared to long radius alternatives

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 8-inch butt weld carbon steel piping systems built to standard pipe fitting dimensions.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a qualified pipe welder or pipefitter using appropriate butt weld procedures. The piping system must be depressurized, drained, and isolated before fitting installation. Follow applicable codes including ASME B31.1 or B31.3 for process and power piping as required by the system design. Do not substitute this short radius fitting in applications that specifically require a long radius elbow without engineering review.
