Flowline Elbow – 3" FIG 1502 Male (Wing) x 3" FIG 1502 Female (Thread) | 45 Degree

The 45-Degree Flowline Elbow, 3" FIG 1502 Male (Wing) x 3" FIG 1502 Female (Thread), is an ultra-heavy-duty, forged steel directional component engineered to alter fluid paths while minimizing pressure drops and internal turbulence in high-capacity 15,000 PSI treating lines. By providing a gradual 45-degree turn rather than a sharp 90-degree bend, this large-bore fitting significantly reduces the erosive impact of high-velocity, sand-laden fluids, making it an essential asset for maintaining long-term pipeline and flowline integrity.

In high-rate hydraulic fracturing, high-volume cementing, and abrasive well flowback operations, velocity-induced erosion is a primary cause of wall-thinning at pipeline junctions. The streamlined geometry of this 45-degree large-bore elbow optimizes fluid dynamics, distributing the impact force of abrasive slurries across a wider surface area. This extends the service life of the high-pressure iron package and drastically minimizes the risk of sudden inline washouts during peak pumping operations.

The 3" FIG 1502 configuration features an integral male wing end complete with a heavy-duty wingnut, paired with a precision-machined female thread (sub) connection. This allows for rapid, secure, and leak-free hammer-up installation into existing large-bore high-pressure manifolds and piping layouts.

Features & Benefits

• 45-Degree Gradual Bend: Optimizes fluid dynamics by reducing turbulent flow, inline backpressure, and localized wall-thinning caused by direct particle impingement.

• Full 15K CWP Capacity: Engineered to operate continuously at extreme working pressures up to 15,000 PSI under standard service conditions.

• Large-Bore Volume: The 3-inch full-bore configuration accommodates massive volumetric flow rates without restricting stimulation or production streams.

• Male x Female End Connections: Equipped with a heavy-duty 1502 wingnut on one side and a precision-machined 1502 threaded sub on the other for fast, direct inline integration.

• Integral Forged Construction: Manufactured from high-strength forged alloy steel to withstand extreme piping vibration, severe mechanical shock loads, and high-pressure fatigue.

Specifications & Technical Details

Applications

This 3-inch 45-degree integral elbow is a critical component for high-pressure surface routing where standard 90-degree bends cause excessive restriction or erosion. Typical applications include high-rate frac manifold mainlines, complex choke and kill layouts, sand separator inlet piping, flowback iron configurations, long-duration well testing setups, and cement pump discharge lines.

Quality Assurance

All our integral flowline fittings are manufactured from premium forged alloy steel and subjected to strict quality control processes. Each elbow undergoes comprehensive dimensional layout checks, non-destructive testing (NDT), and rigorous hydrostatic testing to guarantee maximum structural integrity, proper seal seating, and reliable pressure containment under extreme field conditions. Full material test reports (MTRs) are available upon request.
