Value Collection 6LB901/2 1/2 in 316 Ss Pipe 90 Elbow Fnpt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6LB901/2 is a 90 degree threaded pipe elbow fitting designed to change flow direction in piping systems by a quarter turn. Constructed from 316 stainless steel to Schedule 40 standards, this fitting handles a pressure rating of 150 psi and connects via female NPT threads on both ends. The FNPT x FNPT configuration accepts standard male-threaded pipe on each port. It is suited for plumbing, process piping, and industrial fluid handling applications where corrosion resistance is a priority. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of fitting.

This 1/2 inch elbow is appropriate for residential and light commercial piping systems, as well as industrial process lines where 316 stainless steel is specified for its elevated corrosion and chloride resistance compared to 304 grade. Typical installations include chemical handling lines, marine environments, food-service plumbing, and other wet or corrosive service conditions. The threaded end connections make it compatible with standard NPT-threaded pipe and fittings of the same nominal size.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in wet and chemical service environments
• 90 degree elbow geometry for quarter-turn directional change in pipe runs
• FNPT x FNPT threaded connections on both ends for standard NPT pipe compatibility
• 150 psi pressure rating suitable for low-to-medium pressure piping systems
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for adequate strength in standard service conditions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/2 inch NPT-threaded piping systems using Schedule 40 stainless steel components.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and tighten to a snug, leak-free fit without overtightening, which can crack fittings or damage threads. Verify system pressure does not exceed the 150 psi rating of this fitting after restoring service.
