Stainless Steel Threaded Press-Fit 90° Elbow A-Type & Socket Weld Fittings

Engineered for Precise, Reliable Directional Changes

The Stainless Steel Threaded Press-Fit 90° Elbow (A-Type) is designed to create perfect right-angle turns in high-performance piping systems. As a fundamental part of our Threaded Press-Fit Fittings Series, this elbow delivers the robust reliability the system is known for, while its intelligent design offers exceptional versatility for engineers and installers.

Key Feature: Universal Socket Weld Compatibility

This elbow is engineered for full dimensional interchangeability with standard Socket Weld (SW) 90° elbows. This critical design feature provides significant advantages:

• Hybrid System Design: Enables seamless integration within projects that use both press-fit and welded connection methods, simplifying procurement and installation.

• Retrofit & Replacement: Allows for direct substitution of existing welded elbows in renovation projects without altering pipe layout or measurements.

• Contractor Flexibility: Grants installers the choice of connection method based on job site conditions, tool availability, or specific application requirements.

Optimized A-Type Design for Installation Flexibility

The “A-Type” designation for this 90° elbow specifically indicates a fitting with socket ends on both sides. This design is ideal for creating a direct, right-angle connection between two pipe ends in standard piping runs. For applications requiring different connection configurations, explore our Stainless Steel Threaded Press-Fit 90° Elbow B-Type, which features a socket on one end and is designed to connect with other fittings on the other. The choice between A-Type and B-Type is often determined by the specific spatial constraints and connection requirements of the job site, allowing for optimal layout flexibility.

Core Technology: A Fusion of Mechanical and Chemical Bonding

Utilizing the proprietary Threaded Press-Fit Technology principle, this elbow features precision internal threads. When combined with the specified anaerobic adhesive during the pressing process, it creates multiple, irreversible sealing barriers. This results in a joint strength and leak integrity that surpasses conventional fittings, forming the basis of our system’s 70-Year Service Life Certification.
