AAP Buttweld 90 Degree Short Radius Elbow, 8"

This AAP buttweld 90° short radius elbow is made from carbon steel to ASTM A234 WPB, ANSI B16.28. It is supplied in 7 sizes, 1-1/2" (40mm) to 8" (200mm). A short radius elbow turns the pipe run through 90° in less space than a long radius elbow: its centre to end distance is shorter than the long radius elbow of the same size. This is the X-Stg (extra strong) weight, with a thicker wall than the Std weight of the same size.

The buttweld range is carbon alloy steel to ASTM A234 for use in various piping systems. Advantages of buttweld: a welded fitting is permanently leak proof, the continuous metal between pipe and fitting adds strength, the smoother inner surface and gradual direction changes reduce pressure loss, turbulence, corrosion and abrasion, and a welded system uses a minimum of space.

Where this product is used

• Pipework where a welded, permanently leak proof joint is wanted
• Changing the direction of a welded pipe run through 90° where space is tight
• Heavier wall pipework that needs X-Stg fittings
