Value Collection 6LB4511/2 45 Deg Pipe Elbow 1-1/2 in 316 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6LB4511/2 is a 45-degree threaded pipe elbow designed for use in piping systems that require a direction change without a full 90-degree turn. Constructed from 316 stainless steel, this fitting offers strong resistance to corrosion and is suited for applications involving moisture, chemicals, or other demanding service conditions. It features female NPT (FNPT) connections on both ends and carries a 150 psi pressure rating at standard service conditions. Schedule 40 wall thickness applies. The fitting ships individually and is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on commercial or industrial piping runs.

This elbow is used in Schedule 40 piping systems where a 45-degree directional change is required. Common applications include process piping, water service lines, chemical handling systems, and general plumbing installations where 316 stainless steel is specified for corrosion resistance. The FNPT x FNPT threaded end connections make it compatible with standard NPT-threaded pipe and fittings. It is appropriate for both above-grade and below-grade installations where corrosion resistance is a priority.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in wet or chemical environments
• 45-degree elbow geometry for gradual directional changes in piping runs
• FNPT x FNPT threaded connections on both ends for standard NPT pipe compatibility
• 150 psi pressure rating suitable for general-service piping applications
• Schedule 40 wall thickness meets common specification requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded pipe fitting for use in Schedule 40 stainless steel piping systems with standard NPT-threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the IPC or ASME B31.3 for process piping. Isolate and depressurize the piping system completely before removing any existing fittings or installing this elbow. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid before making up threaded connections. Do not over-tighten threaded joints, as this can crack fittings or damage thread integrity.
