Stainless Steel Male Elbow – 3/8" Tube x 3/8" MNPT, 90 Degree (SME 6-6N)
The SME 6-6N is a 90-degree male elbow fitting designed to connect 3/8" stainless steel tubing to a 3/8" Male National Pipe Taper (MNPT) threaded port in a compact, corner-mounted configuration. Constructed from 316 stainless steel, this fitting offers reliable sealing and long-lasting resistance to mechanical stress, making it ideal for tight system layouts in demanding environments.
Engineered for use in pressure systems, hygienic fluid processors, and OEM builds, the SME 6-6N features a dual-ferrule compression end that creates a secure, leak-tight connection without welding or sealants. Its precision-machined body and corrosion-resistant alloy composition make it well suited for Clean-in-Place (CIP) instrumentation, sanitary stainless steel fittings, and hygienic valve networks in food, chemical, and pharmaceutical processing.
This elbow allows directional changes in tubing runs without introducing bulky adapters or welded joints, helping designers optimize space while preserving flow integrity.
Key Benefits
- 90° configuration allows clean directional transitions in tight installations
- 316 stainless steel construction supports sanitary and industrial applications
- Compression end creates a secure, high-pressure seal without sealant
- MNPT threading ensures pressure-rated pipe compatibility
- Resists corrosion in hygienic valves, aggressive chemicals, or steam
- Ideal for precise fluid control setups where tubing bends must be minimized
Typical Applications
- Skid-mounted Clean-in-Place (CIP) instrumentation systems
- OEM gas, air, or chemical routing panels
- Food, beverage, and biotech hygienic fluid processors
- Sanitary stainless steel fittings in pressurized equipment
- 90° turn fittings for compressed air, inert gas, or media supply
- Panel layouts where direction changes must stay compact and clean
Whether you’re routing tubing in a tight manifold or designing a compact pressure system, the SME 6-6N gives you strength, seal integrity, and clean corner transitions—all in a rugged 316 stainless build trusted by professionals.
