Value Collection SS-UE-FN8 Compression Tube Union Elbow

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS-UE-FN8 is a stainless steel compression tube union elbow designed to join two 1/2-inch OD tubes at a 90-degree angle using compression-style end connections on both sides. Machined from 316 stainless steel to ASTM A182 and ASTM A276 standards, this fitting provides reliable, leak-resistant connections in fluid and gas distribution systems without welding or soldering. The overall length is 1.42 inches. Its UNF 3/4-20 thread spec and dual compression ends make it a straightforward field installation for plumbers and pipefitters working on instrumentation, process, or mechanical piping lines.

This union elbow is suited for residential and light commercial applications where 1/2-inch OD tubing must change direction at a junction point. Common install scenarios include hydraulic instrumentation lines, pneumatic control tubing, process fluid systems, and specialty plumbing runs requiring stainless steel corrosion resistance. The compression-by-compression configuration allows both tube ends to be secured without threading the tubing itself, making it practical in tight spaces or retrofit situations. Swagelok equivalent part number SS-810-9 is listed for cross-reference purposes.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction meets ASTM A182, ASTM A213, ASTM A269, ASTM A276, ASTM A479, DIN EN10122-5, and DIN EN10272 standards
• Compression x compression end connections on both sides — no welding or soldering required
• Accepts 1/2-inch OD tubing on each port
• Compact overall length of 1.42 inches for installation in space-constrained assemblies
• UNF 3/4-20 thread standard for precise fitting engagement
• Cross-references to Swagelok part number SS-810-9

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression union elbow for systems using 1/2-inch OD tubing with compression-style fittings. Cross-references to Swagelok SS-810-9 for direct replacement reference.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Depressurize and drain the line fully before disassembling any compression fitting. Ensure tubing ends are cut square and deburred before seating in the compression ferrule to prevent leaks. Follow applicable IPC or process piping codes for system pressure testing after reassembly.
