This 57 mm O.D. 304 stainless steel weld 180 degree bend elbow pipe fitting is designed for homebrew and dairy applications. It provides a sanitary, corrosionresistant solution for redirecting flow between two sections of 57 mm outer diameter tubing. The elbow is welded on both ends, delivering a continuous interior surface and a strong, leaktight joint suitable for demanding process environments. Key benefits Sanitary and easy to clean: welded joints create a smooth interior surface with minimal crevices, supporting hygienic handling of dairy and beverage processes. Corrosion resistant and durable: 304 stainless steel offers reliable resistance to typical dairy and foodcontact fluids, helping extend service life in demanding environments. Simple, reliable flow direction change: 180 degree bend enables a Uturn in tight spaces, reducing the need for multiple fittings and potential leakage points. Built for homebrew and smallscale dairy use: designed to perform in everyday processing tasks while maintaining sanitary standards. Secure, longlasting joints: welded ends provide robust connections when paired with standard 57 mm OD tubing and proper welding practices. Key attributes Material: 304 stainless steel Tube outside diameter compatibility: 57 mm Bend angle: 180 degrees (elbow) End connections: welded butt joints for secure, continuous surface Intended use: pipe fitting for homebrew, dairy, beverage, and other foodprocessing applications Performance characteristics: corrosion resistance, durability, and a sanitary interior suitable for foodcontact fluids Functionality and compatibility Fits standard 57 mm outer diameter tubing commonly used in hobbyist and smallscale dairy and beverage setups. Welded construction supports cleanable, sanitary transfer lines and minimizes crevices where residue can accumulate. Suitable for piping runs that require a 180degree bend in a single, compact fitting, helping to save space and reduce the number of fittings in a system. Designed to be welded to matching tubing by qualified personnel following appropriate welding procedures and postweld cleaning. Installation notes End users should weld the fitting to 57 mm OD tubing using appropriate sanitary welding practices. After welding, perform standard cleaning and inspection to ensure a smooth interior surface and leak joints. Verify that operating temperatures and fluid compatibility align with 304 stainless steel capabilities. Use cases Dairy transfer line: connect a pump outlet to a storage tank with a 180degree redirect around equipment or obstacles, maintaining a sanitary, singlepiece flow path. Homebrewing transfer: route wort from the kettle to the fermenter or between process vessels where space is limited, while preserving sanitary conditions and minimizing crevices. Beverage processing or other food fluids: implement a compact 180degree turn in lines transporting milk, cream, yogurtbased products, or similar fluids in smallscale setups. Note: This fitting is specified for 57 mm outer diameter tubing and uses welded butt joints. Ensure proper welding, cleaning, and testing practices are followed to maintain product integrity and system reliability.
