1-1/4" Schedule 10 Short Radius 90° Elbow – 321 Stainless Steel
PNW Sanitary 321 stainless steel Schedule 10 short radius 90° elbows are precision-manufactured butt-weld fittings designed for nominal pipe size (NPS) stainless piping systems operating in elevated temperature environments. The short-radius 90-degree geometry provides a compact directional change, making this fitting suitable for installations where tighter routing is required while maintaining reliable wall thickness for industrial service.
Constructed from 321 stainless steel and manufactured in accordance with ASTM A403/A960 material standards and ASME B16.9 dimensional requirements, this elbow is engineered for high-temperature applications. The titanium-stabilized composition of 321 stainless enhances resistance to intergranular corrosion and reduces the risk of weld decay in heat-affected zones, making it well suited for environments involving sustained heat exposure or repeated thermal cycling.
Schedule 10 wall thickness provides a balanced combination of weight and durability compared to lighter Schedule 5 and heavier Schedule 40 options. Ends are factory-beveled to ensure consistent and secure butt-weld installation. Fittings are ink-stamped “Ace Race Parts” for manufacturing identification.
