Stainless Steel 90° Male Elbow – 1/2 in. Tube OD x 3/8 in. MNPT, Compression Fitting (SME 8-6N)
The SME 8-6N is a 1/2" tube OD x 3/8" Male NPT 90-degree elbow designed for tight routing and high-pressure performance in sanitary and industrial fluid systems. Machined from corrosion-resistant 316 stainless steel, this compression elbow delivers clean, secure sealing in space-constrained layouts without compromising flow or reliability.
The right-angle design supports efficient directional changes in fuel, gas, or liquid lines, making it well-suited for OEM skids, instrumentation panels, and hygienic systems. Its dual-ferrule compression interface provides leak-tight sealing and repeatable performance under vibration, thermal expansion, and pressure cycling.
Key Benefits
- Flow: 90° bend for tight system layouts and directional control
- Seal: Dual-ferrule compression sealing for secure, re-usable connections
- Durability: Handles vibration, pressure surges, and aggressive cleaning
- Compatibility: Connects 1/2" stainless tubing to 3/8" NPT process ports
- Material: 316 stainless steel supports hygienic and harsh system conditions
Typical Applications
- Sanitary stainless steel fitting systems
- Clean-in-Place (CIP) instrumentation
- OEM fuel and gas delivery skids
- Water purification, hydrogen, and CNG setups
- High-purity lab, food, and pharmaceutical process lines
