316 Stainless Steel F/F 45° Elbow BSP

316 Stainless Steel BSP Female/Female 45° Elbow engineered for hygienic, corrosion-resistant plumbing in food & beverage systems, marine environments and other demanding industrial applications. Precision-machined from premium 316 stainless steel to ensure strength, flow efficiency and leak-free operation.

What This Fitting Does

A 45° female/female elbow is used to change the direction of a pipeline by 45 degrees while connecting two male BSP-threaded components. It provides a smooth, angled transition that reduces strain on hoses, pipework and equipment.

Why Choose a 45° Elbow?

• Smoother directional change with less turbulence than abrupt 90° bends.
• Ideal for tight installations where a gentle angle is required for hose alignment or equipment positioning.
• Reduces mechanical stress on fittings, valves and washdown equipment.
• Full-depth BSP female threads ensure reliable sealing and long service life.

Material Advantages - 316 Stainless Steel

• Exceptional corrosion resistance against chemicals, saltwater and sanitation agents.
• Safe for breweries, wineries, dairies, distilleries and food-processing facilities.
• Perfect for marine, coastal and corrosive industrial applications.
• Retains mechanical strength under heat, pressure and repeated washdown cycles.

Common Applications

• Washdown systems and hot/cold water plumbing
• Equipment installation and pipeline alignment
• Food & beverage transfer systems
• Marine and chemical-handling pipelines

Each 45° elbow is precision-machined from solid 316 stainless steel, delivering dependable, hygienic directional changes in sanitary and corrosive environments.

To ensure maximum service life and safe performance of your equipment, please follow these general care guidelines:

• Clean after use – Rinse or CIP components to remove product, residue or cleaning chemicals.
• Avoid kinks, crushing or sharp bends – Protect hoses and assemblies from mechanical damage.
• Store correctly – Hang hoses or reels where possible; keep fittings and clamps dry and off the floor.
• Inspect regularly – Check for wear, abrasion, loose clamps, damaged gaskets or compromised seals.
• Use compatible cleaning chemicals – Follow manufacturer guidelines for caustic, acid or sanitiser exposure.
• Protect from high heat / UV – Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight, heaters or hot surfaces unless rated for it.
• Depressurise before disconnecting – Always release system pressure before removing hoses or fittings.
• Replace worn components promptly – Gaskets, clamps, seals and hose ends should be renewed as needed.
  

Proper routine care extends lifespan, improves hygiene and ensures safe, reliable operation across all brewery, winery, distillery and food-processing environments.
