F-63 - Western Enterprises F-63 1/4" NPT Male to Female 90-Degree Brass Elbow

Western Enterprises F-63 90-Degree Brass Elbow Fitting

The Western Enterprises F-63 is a premium-grade 90-degree elbow fitting designed for professional gas distribution systems and industrial welding applications. Manufactured from high-quality solid brass, this fitting is engineered to withstand the rigors of high-pressure environments while resisting corrosion and wear over time. It serves as a critical component for redirecting flow paths in piping systems, manifolds, and regulator assemblies without compromising structural integrity or flow efficiency.

This specific model features a "street elbow" configuration with a 1/4-inch National Pipe Taper (NPT) Male thread on one end and a 1/4-inch NPT Female thread on the other. This dual-gender design makes it exceptionally versatile for adapting gauges, connecting hoses to regulators, or fitting into tight manifold blocks where a straight connection is not feasible. The precision machining of the threads ensures a secure, leak-proof engagement when paired with appropriate thread sealants, meeting the strict safety standards required for handling compressed gases such as oxygen, acetylene, argon, and nitrogen.

In the context of MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations), the F-63 is an essential stock item for facility managers and technicians maintaining gas delivery infrastructure. Its robust pressure rating, typically suitable for standard cylinder pressures (up to 3000 PSI depending on the mating component and application), ensures reliability in demanding settings. Whether used in a central gas system or a portable welding cart setup, the Western F-63 delivers the performance and safety expected from a leading manufacturer in the gas equipment industry.
