A stainless steel 304L male elbow is a fitting that is frequently used in plumbing and piping systems to join pipes or tubes at an angle. Like SS 304, SS 304L is a low-carbon version of stainless steel that has improved weldability and high corrosion resistance.
The male elbow is made of stainless steel type 304L and has a smooth, curved end on one side and a male threaded end on the other. This arrangement ensures a seamless transition and the correct flow direction while enabling simple installation into a corresponding female threaded fitting.
The male elbow is suited for applications where exposure to corrosive environments is a concern because it is made of SS 304L, which offers exceptional corrosion protection. Additionally, because SS 304L has little carbon, it is less susceptible to sensitization, which could be problematic in high-temperature applications.
The high pressures and temperatures that SS 304L can sustain due to its strength and durability make it suited for a variety of industries, including chemical processing, oil & gas, pharmaceuticals, and food processing.
