Tube O.D. 45 mm 304 Stainless Steel Weld 180° Bend Elbow Pipe Fitting for Dairy Product Key benefits Makes a compact, hygienic direction change: the 180° bend lets you reverse flow in tight piping runs without multiple fittings. Built for dairy environments: 304 stainless steel offers strong corrosion resistance and long service life in food and beverage lines. Reliable welded connection: designed for weld installation to create secure, lowleak joints that withstand repeated cleaning cycles. Improves line cleanliness and maintenance: a single, smooth elbow reduces joints and crevices compared with multiple fittings, simplifying cleaning. Product highlights Compatibility: fits tubing or pipe with an outside diameter (O.D.) of 45 mm. Material: manufactured from 304 stainless steel, suitable for use in dairy product handling systems. Configuration: 180degree bend elbow for reversing flow direction in a single fitting. Connection type: weldstyle ends intended to be permanently joined by welding to adjacent pipe or tubing. Performance: provides durable, corrosionresistant service appropriate for wet, sanitary processing environments. Why customers choose this fitting Space and layout efficiency: a series of fittings with one 180° elbow to save space and reduce potential leak points. Durability in sanitary applications: 304 stainless resists oxidation and is commonly used where regular cleaning and hygienic performance are required. Seamless integration into welded piping systems: designed to be incorporated into welded assemblies for robust, longlasting installations. Typical applications Dairy processing lines: used to reroute milk, cream, and other dairy product flows between equipment, tanks, and processing stages. Tank and skid installations: installed on welded piping runs within processing skids or tank connections where a full reversal of flow is needed. Cleaninplace (CIP) loops and circulation circuits: used where a compact change of direction helps maintain continuous flow during cleaning and processing operations. Installation and handling notes Intended for professional welding and installation into existing piping systems sized for 45 mm O.D. tubing. Ensure weld procedures and postweld cleaning follow your facility's hygienic and safety standards. Inspect welds and joints per usual maintenance schedules to maintain sanitary performance. Materials and care 304 stainless steel provides corrosion resistance in typical dairy processing environments; follow standard cleaning and sanitizing protocols compatible with 304 SS. Avoid use with incompatible chemicals or conditions that exceed the material's intended service limits. This 45 mm O.D. 304 stainless steel 180° weld elbow is a practical choice when you need a durable, hygienic way to reverse flow within dairy product piping systems while minimizing joints and simplifying maintenance.
