3.000" 16ga Butt-Weld 45° Elbow with Tangents - (L2KS - Special) - Polished OD/ID - 304 Stainless

Butt-Weld 45° Elbow with Tangents (L2KS – Special) – 304 Stainless Steel

PNW Sanitary Butt-Weld 45° Elbows with Tangents (L2KS – Special) provide a smooth permanent 45° transition in welded stainless process piping using 304 stainless steel polished to a 32Ra sanitary finish on ID and OD. These fittings replicate 3-A dimensional and material standards but are not laser-marked and therefore are not 3-A certified. See our 3-A Certified version. Ideal for OEM, equipment builds or installations where full 3-A marking is not required but sanitary integrity is desired.

Features

• 304 stainless steel construction
• Polished 32Ra ID/OD sanitary finish
• Tangents for easier weld accessibility
• Produced to 3-A dimensional/material standards (non-certified)
• Multiple tube OD sizes available
• Permanent welded installation

Applications & Compatibility

Well-suited for sanitary process lines needing a 45° welded elbow with tangents where 3-A certification is optional. Compatible with standard sanitary tubing and weld fittings from major brands.

Quality & Material Verification

Special-series fittings undergo in-house Positive Material Identification (PMI) using the SciAps X-550 handheld XRF spectrometer for alloy verification and traceability.

Cross-Reference

Note: The cross-reference table above indicates dimensional equivalence only. This L2KS – Special fitting is not 3-A certified because it is not laser-marked with size or alloy identifiers.
