Product advantages:
1, high resistance strength: 304 stainless steel pipe tensile light ≥520Mpa
2, corrosion resistance: the oxide film on the surface of the pipe fittings makes the stainless steel pipe fittings have good corrosion resistance.
3, long service life: stainless steel material life of up to 100 years, pipe life of more than 70 years.
4. Low flow resistance: the inner wall of stainless steel clamping pipe fittings is smooth, and the flow resistance is very low.
5, good seismic performance: high tensile resistance at the compression, so it can effectively reduce the possibility of water leakage caused by water hammer vibration, pipeline resonance and earthquake.
6, high pressure resistance: pipe water pressure performance test, can withstand pressure of 2.5 mpa (that is, 24.5 kg force /CM²)
7, environmental protection: stainless steel materials can be recycled, pollution-free, conducive to sustainable development, and stainless steel waste also has considerable economic value.
8, easy installation: Insert the pipe into the pipe fitting with a special tool clamping in place, than the traditional welding or wire interface is simple.
9, suitable embedded installation: clamping pipe to meet the requirements of embedded installation, can be installed, can also be buried wall installation
10, low comprehensive cost: long service life, no maintenance costs, no hidden water leakage, not easy to age, low temperature and explosion-proof pipe.
11, wear-resistant: stainless steel material can withstand long-term erosion of up to 30 meters/second.
12, health: stainless steel material is a recognized health material that can be implanted in the human body, eliminate secondary pollution of water, and maintain the purity of water.
13, good sealing performance, no leakage;

Overview


The Stainless Steel Groove 45-Degree Elbow is a high-strength pipe fitting designed for grooved piping systems, providing a reliable, vibration-resistant solution for changing pipe direction in heavy-duty applications. Manufactured from 304 or 316 stainless steel, this elbow features a grooved end (AWWA C606 compliant) that connects to couplings or valves without threading or welding, enabling fast installation and maintenance.


Features


Grooved Connection Advantages:

AWWA C606 grooved ends accept mechanical couplings (e.g., Victaulic-style), allowing installation in minutes with simple wrenches, reducing labor costs by 40% compared to welded systems.

Groove dimensions (depth, width) precision-machined to ±0.1mm tolerance for consistent coupling engagement.

Robust Construction:

Seamless or welded stainless steel body (304 for general use, 316 for corrosive environments), with yield strength ≥250 MPa and impact resistance (Charpy V-notch ≥27 J at 20°C).

45° angle design reduces stress concentration compared to 90° elbows, ideal for high-vibration applications like pumps and compressors.

Flow Optimization:

Smooth internal radius (1.5x pipe diameter) minimizes turbulence and pressure loss, with polished bore (Ra ≤1.6μm) for laminar flow in water, oil, and gas systems.

Groove location away from the bend ensures coupling seals are not affected by pipe deflection, maintaining leak resistance under thermal expansion.

Compliance & Testing:

Meet ASME B16.24, MSS SP-83, and AWWA C606 standards, hydrostatically tested to 1.5x MAWP (up to 300 PSI for 304 stainless steel).

Optional electro-polishing for high-purity systems, reducing surface roughness to Ra ≤0.8μm for pharmaceutical and semiconductor applications.


Application


Perfect for heavy-duty and large-diameter piping:

Water Distribution: Municipal water mains, wastewater treatment plants, and fire protection systems (NFPA 20 compliant), with grooved connections enabling quick expansion of pipe networks.

Industrial Plants: Cooling water circuits, steam lines, and bulk material conveying systems in power plants and refineries, with 316 stainless steel resisting chloride stress corrosion.

Mechanical Systems: Vibration-prone equipment connections (e.g., pumps, generators), with grooved couplings absorbing minor misalignments and reducing stress on the elbow.

Marine & Offshore: Seawater intake systems and deck piping, with 316 stainless steel providing superior resistance to saltwater corrosion and biofouling.


FAQ


Q: What is the maximum pipe size available?

A: Sizes range from 2" to 48" NPS, with custom sizes available for special projects.

Q: Can grooved elbows be used in above-ground and underground installations?

A: Yes, suitable for both environments; use polyethylene casing for underground protection in corrosive soils.

Q: How to prevent galvanic corrosion with dissimilar metals?

A: Use dielectric couplings when connecting stainless steel elbows to carbon steel pipes, and apply anti-corrosion tape to grooved ends.

Q: What is the recommended torque for coupling bolts?

A: Follow the coupling manufacturer's guidelines, typically 50-70 N·m for 2"-12" elbows to ensure uniform sealing pressure.
