1" Stainless Steel Insert Elbow

Boshart SSEL-100 1" Stainless Steel Insert Elbow
A lead-free 304 stainless steel insert elbow used to make a 90° connection on compatible polyethylene (PE) pipe systems for cold-water plumbing applications such as well service, irrigation, and potable water where a 1" insert fitting is specified.

Key Features

• Stainless steel insert elbow, 1" size; lead free (as listed)
• Made from 304 stainless steel; materials conform to ASTM A351
• Intended for use with ASTM D2239 polyethylene (PE) plastic pipe (SIDR-PR, controlled ID)
• Elbow design described as a smooth sweep channel to minimize friction loss for higher flow rates and pumping efficiency
• Intended for cold water applications (including irrigation, well service, potable water); not for compressed gases
• Protect fittings from freezing temperatures where expansion could occur
• Use gray stainless steel PTFE tape and Gray Magic pipe thread compound for joining stainless steel threaded fittings

Compatibility & Applications

• Intended for ASTM D2239 PE pipe cold-water systems (e.g., irrigation, well service, potable water), where a 1" stainless insert elbow is specified by the system design or pipe requirements.
• Must only be used where the manufacturer specifies this exact part number: SSEL-100.

Installation & Operation Notes

• Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber/well or irrigation installer.
• Do not use in compressed gas service, and protect from freezing conditions.

Maintenance & Troubleshooting

• As a mechanical connection fitting, service attention is typically driven by leakage or fit/compatibility issues.
• Use in the correct application (cold water/PE pipe) and protect from freezing; if performance issues occur, verify the fitting is being used within the pipe system's rated limits and in the intended application.

Certifications & Compliance

• NSF/ANSI 372 certified (Drinking Water System Components - Lead Content) for the stainless steel insert fitting line.
