|---|---|
90° Short Radius Design – Provides a compact, tight turn for directional changes in piping systems, ideal for space-constrained installations.
Premium Stainless Steel Construction – Available in 304 and 316L stainless steel alloys for excellent corrosion resistance and durability.
32RA Interior / Exterior Finish – Mechanically polished to a smooth 32 microinch RA surface, minimizing bacterial growth and facilitating clean-in-place (CIP) maintenance.
Butt Weld Connection – Permanent, flush weld connections eliminate crevices and dead spots, ensuring sanitary integrity.
Full Traceability – Material Test Reports (MTR) and Certificates of Conformance (COC) available upon request.
Industry Certified – 3-A Certified and CRN Certified for compliance with sanitary and pressure equipment standards.
Space-Saving Design – The short radius (R = 1.0D) reduces center-to-end distance by one-third compared to long radius elbows, making it perfect for modular skids, compact equipment, and tight piping layouts.
Superior Hygiene – The 32RA polished finish and flush butt weld connections prevent product entrapment and bacterial contamination, meeting the highest sanitary standards.
Permanent & Leak-Proof – Butt welding creates a permanent, strong, and leak-proof joint that withstands high temperatures and pressures.
Versatile Material Options – Choose 304 SS for general sanitary applications or 316L SS for enhanced corrosion resistance in aggressive environments.
Easy Maintenance – Smooth internal finish allows for efficient clean-in-place (CIP) procedures, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
The 2WCL 90 Degree Short Weld Elbow is installed by butt welding both ends to matching sanitary tubing or fittings--. The welding process creates a continuous, flush interior surface with no gaps or crevices, ensuring unobstructed product flow and preventing contamination. Once welded, the fitting provides a permanent 90° directional change in the piping system with minimal pressure drop, suitable for low-pressure fluid applications where space is limited.
Quality Assurance – All fittings are manufactured to ASTM A234, ASME B16.9, and 3-A standards, ensuring consistent quality and performance.
Material Traceability – Every batch comes with Material Test Reports (MTR) and Certificates of Conformance (COC) for full supply chain transparency.
Competitive Pricing – Direct factory pricing with no middlemen, offering exceptional value without compromising quality.
Flexible Sourcing – Available in a wide range of sizes from 1/2" to 10" with various wall thickness options.
Global Shipping – Fast and reliable worldwide delivery with professional packaging to ensure product integrity.
Expert Support – Our technical team provides installation guidance and custom solutions for your specific piping requirements.
Q: What materials are available for the 2WCL elbow?
A: The 2WCL 90 Degree Short Weld Elbow is available in 304 Stainless Steel and 316L Stainless Steel-.
Q: What is the difference between short radius and long radius elbows?
A: A short radius elbow has a center-to-end distance equal to the nominal pipe size (R=1.0D), while a long radius elbow has 1.5 times the pipe size (R=1.5D)-. Short radius elbows are used in tight spaces where compact layout is required-.
