2" Schedule 40 Long Radius 90° Elbow – 304 Stainless Steel
PNW Sanitary 304 stainless steel Schedule 40 long radius 90° elbows are precision-manufactured butt-weld fittings designed for nominal pipe size (NPS) stainless piping systems. This fitting provides a smooth 90-degree directional change with long-radius geometry that helps reduce turbulence and pressure drop while offering increased wall thickness for higher-pressure and structural applications.
Constructed from 304 stainless steel and manufactured in accordance with ASTM A403/A960 material standards and ASME B16.9 dimensional requirements, this elbow delivers consistent weld fit-up and dependable performance. Schedule 40 wall thickness provides greater strength and durability compared to Schedule 5 or Schedule 10, making it suitable for demanding mechanical, industrial, and high-temperature environments. Ends are factory-beveled for secure and efficient butt-weld installation. Fittings are ink-stamped “Ace Race Parts” for manufacturing identification.

Applications & Compatibility
Commonly used in industrial stainless piping systems requiring increased wall thickness for pressure handling, structural strength, or elevated temperature service. Suitable for fabrication projects, mechanical systems, exhaust applications, and general industrial process lines. Compatible with standard NPS Schedule 40 stainless pipe and butt-weld fittings manufactured to ASME B16.9 dimensions. Not intended for sanitary clamp-style or hygienic ferrule-based systems.
Quality & Material Verification
PNW Sanitary verifies stainless steel fittings through in-house Positive Material Identification (PMI) using the SciAps X-550 handheld XRF spectrometer to confirm alloy chemistry and support material traceability.
