Plumbers, maintenance technicians, and DIY homeowners know the frustration of a fixed elbow that locks you into a permanent pipe layout. When equipment needs servicing or a line needs rerouting, a standard elbow means cutting, re-threading, and starting over. This 304 stainless steel 90° union elbow with BSP threading solves that problem by combining a direction change with a serviceable union joint — so you can disconnect the fitting at any time without disturbing the rest of the pipe run.
Each fitting is machined from Grade 304 stainless steel and features a male × female BSP threaded union elbow configuration. Available in eight BSP nominal sizes from BSP 1/4" (DN8) through BSP 2" (DN50), covering the most common residential and light commercial pipe diameters. The 90° turn is built into the body, making this a single-piece solution for corner transitions in tight spaces.
Typical applications include BSP pipe fitting for water supply lines, compressed air distribution, gas line service connections, and industrial fluid transfer systems where future access is required. The union elbow is also widely used in stainless steel plumbing adapter setups for food-grade or sanitary environments where corrosion resistance and cleanability matter.

BSP sizes refer to the nominal bore of the pipe, not the actual thread outer diameter. For example, a BSP 1/2" fitting typically has a thread OD of approximately 20.9mm (≈0.82"). Measure the OD of your male thread or the ID of your female port, then match it to a BSP nominal size chart. When in doubt, select the variant option above or contact us to confirm before ordering.
304 stainless steel BSP fittings of this type are generally rated for working pressures up to 150 PSI (≈10 bar) in standard plumbing and low-pressure industrial applications. Actual ratings depend on pipe wall thickness, temperature, and the connected system. For high-pressure or steam applications, please contact us to confirm suitability.
Yes. 304 stainless steel offers good corrosion resistance in most outdoor and wet environments, performing well against rain, humidity, and mild chemical exposure. For coastal or highly chlorinated environments, 316 stainless steel is generally recommended for superior salt-spray resistance. Contact us if you need a 316 SS option.
BSP and NPT threads are not directly interchangeable. While some sizes appear similar in diameter, the thread angle differs — BSP uses a 55° Whitworth form while NPT uses 60°. Mixing them can result in leaks or cross-threading. Use a dedicated BSP-to-NPT adapter if you need to connect the two standards.
Yes. The union design allows you to disconnect the fitting without cutting or unthreading the entire pipe run. This makes it ideal for maintenance access points, equipment service connections, and anywhere future serviceability is a priority. Simply unscrew the union nut to separate the joint.
PTFE (Teflon) tape or a thread sealant paste rated for stainless steel and your intended media (water, gas, oil) is typically recommended. Apply 2–3 wraps of PTFE tape in the direction of the thread. Avoid over-tightening, which can strip threads or crack fittings. For gas applications, use a sealant specifically rated for gas service.
This BSP union elbow is compatible with stainless steel, copper, brass, and galvanized steel pipes that use BSP threading. It is generally not recommended for direct connection to aluminum pipe without an isolation fitting, as galvanic corrosion may occur over time in wet environments.
