Compact 180° stainless steel weld bend designed for homebrew plumbing where a clean, durable turnaround is needed. Made from 304 stainless steel and sized for 38 mm (1.5') outside diameter tubing, this weld fitting provides a permanent, corrosionresistant connection for liquid lines and brewery equipment. Key benefits Durable, foodcompatible material: 304 stainless steel resists corrosion and is commonly used in food and beverage applications. Precise 180° turn: Creates a controlled change of direction with minimal footprint, useful where space is limited. Weld connection: Designed to be welded in place for a leak, permanent joint that eliminates clamps and ferrules. Fits 38 mm / 1.5' O/D tubing: Direct compatibility with standard 1.5' outsidediameter brew lines and pipe. Key attributes Material: 304 stainless steel (foodgrade, corrosionresistant) Size: 38 mm (1.5') outside diameter Type: 180° bend pipe fitting Connection: Weld (requires welding to mate tubing or fittings) Intended use: Homebrew and beverage plumbing Why customers choose this fitting Longlasting, hygienic joints: 304 stainless offers reliable performance in wet and acidic brewing environments and is easy to clean. Spacesaving routing: The 180° bend allows of lines in a short distance, ideal for compact brewery cabinets or tight runs. Professional finish: Welding the fitting creates a smooth, permanent joint that reduces leak points and maintenance. Typical applications Transfer lines between kettles, pumps, and fermenters where a compact 180° reversal is needed. Custom brew rigs and manifold assemblies that require welded, sanitary connections. Glycol or cooling loop returns in smallscale brewing setups where durable, corrosionresistant fittings are required. Installation and compatibility notes Designed to be welded to 38 mm (1.5') O/D tubing or compatible adapters. Welding should be performed by a qualified welder using appropriate procedures for 304 stainless steel. Check mating tubing O/D to confirm fit; this fitting is sized for 38 mm (1.5') outsidediameter pipes. After welding, inspect welds and clean according to homebrew sanitation practices before use. Care and maintenance Clean with standard brewery cleaning agents compatible with 304 stainless steel. Inspect welded joints periodically for integrity, especially after thermal cycling or mechanical stress. Material and safety reminders 304 stainless steel is widely used in food and beverage equipment for corrosion resistance; handle welding and cleaning with standard safety precautions. This is a weldstyle fitting intended for permanent installation; it is not a clampon or threaded coupling. Use this 38 mm (1.5') O/D 304 stainless steel 180° weld bend to create durable, sanitary turns in your homebrew plumbing and custom brewery builds where a permanent, spacesaving solution is required.
