Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Carbon Steel Elbolet?

A Carbon Steel Elbolet is a forged branch outlet fitting used to make a branch connection on a pipe elbow or curved piping section.

What is the difference between an Elbolet and a Latrolet?

An Elbolet is designed for branch connections on elbows, while a Latrolet is used for lateral branch connections, typically at an angled position on the main pipe.

What are the standards for Elbolet fittings?

Elbolets are commonly manufactured according to ASME B16.11 and MSS SP-97 requirements.

Can Carbon Steel Elbolets be used for high-pressure applications?

Yes. Carbon Steel Elbolets are available in high-pressure classes such as Class 3000, 6000, and 9000, depending on the design and application.

What is ASTM A105 Elbolet?

An ASTM A105 Elbolet is a forged carbon steel branch outlet manufactured from ASTM A105 material, commonly used for industrial pressure piping systems.

Can Elbolets be used on pipe elbows?

Yes. Elbolets are specifically designed to provide branch connections on pipe elbows, making them suitable where a branch outlet is required on a curved section.

Do I need a different Elbolet for a long-radius and short-radius elbow?

Yes. A long-radius (1.5D) and short-radius (1.0D) elbow have different curvatures, so the Elbolet must match the elbow radius to ensure a proper weld fit. Always specify the elbow size and radius when ordering.
