Value Collection 6SLB901 1 in 316 Ss 90 Street Elbow 150 Psi

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6SLB901 is a 90-degree street elbow fitting designed for threaded pipe systems requiring a direct-direction change in a single connection point. Built from 316 stainless steel, this fitting handles a pressure rating of 150 psi and is sized for 1-inch pipe. The street elbow configuration combines a female NPT end with a male NPT end, allowing it to thread directly into another fitting without a nipple in between. Schedule 40 construction provides wall thickness consistent with standard industrial and commercial piping requirements. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in process, chemical, and fluid-handling systems where corrosion resistance is critical.

This fitting is suited for applications where 316 stainless steel is specified for its elevated resistance to chlorides, acids, and harsh process environments compared to 304-grade material. Common installations include marine plumbing, food-service piping, chemical transfer lines, and industrial process systems. The FNPT x MNPT configuration makes it compatible with standard NPT threaded pipe and fittings at the 1-inch pipe size. It is sold individually and is appropriate for both new construction and maintenance or repair work on existing threaded stainless systems.

Key Features

• 90-degree street elbow geometry changes flow direction while reducing the number of connections needed
• 316 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in chemical, marine, and food-service environments
• FNPT x MNPT ends thread directly into adjacent fittings without an additional nipple
• 150 psi pressure rating suitable for standard low-pressure fluid and gas service
• Schedule 40 wall thickness meets typical industrial piping standards
• 1-inch fitting size matches standard NPT pipe sizing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1-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 codes such as the IPC or ASME B31.3 for process piping. Isolate and depressurize the piping system completely before disassembling any threaded connections. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid before making up NPT threads. Do not overtighten threaded stainless steel fittings, as galling can occur and damage both the fitting and mating pipe threads.
