Stainless Steel 45° Union Elbow – 1/2 in. Tube OD (SHUE-8)

The SHUE-8 is a precision-engineered 45-degree union elbow designed to connect 1/2 inch tube outside diameter stainless steel lines in tight, high-performance layouts. Made from 316 stainless steel, this corrosion-resistant fitting ensures reliable, leak-tight flow control in sanitary environments and pressure-critical applications.

With its angled geometry, the SHUE-8 enables clean directional changes without introducing stress points—ideal for space-limited instrumentation panels, clean-in-place (CIP) systems, and hygienic fluid processors. The dual-ferrule compression ends deliver a secure, vibration-resistant metal-to-metal seal that performs under pressure and repeated maintenance cycles.

This fitting is fully compatible with Swagelok® style systems and supports clean routing in gas and liquid sampling, analyzer setups, and fuel or chemical loops.

Key Benefits

• Clean Directional Change: 45-degree bend for smooth, efficient routing
• Leak-Tight Seal: Dual-ferrule compression system ensures secure, re-usable connections
• Sanitary-Grade Construction: 316 stainless steel resists corrosion and aggressive media
• Compact Profile: Ideal for high-density instrumentation and CIP (Clean-in-Place) layouts
• System Compatibility: Works with standard 1/2 inch stainless tubing and Swagelok® style assemblies

Typical Applications

• Process instrumentation and precision fluid control systems
• Sanitary tubing in CIP (Clean-in-Place) and washdown environments
• Analyzer panels, gas skids, and OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) fluid systems
• Fuel, gas, and chemical sampling lines
• Hygienic stainless steel process loops
