Lightweight Double Cushion Elbow – 3" FIG 1502 Male (Wing) x 3" FIG 1502 Female (Thread) | XF Model

The Lightweight 3" FIG 1502 Double Cushion Elbow (Male Wing x Female Thread), designated as the XF Model, is an advanced high-pressure flowline component engineered to combat severe velocity-induced erosion in 15,000 PSI treating lines while significantly reducing transport and assembly weight. By combining the legendary wear protection of a standard cushion block with an optimized, weight-saving external geometry and the specific XF design profile, this fitting minimizes crew fatigue during manual rig-ups without sacrificing wall thickness or pressure containment.

In large-scale operations like high-rate hydraulic fracturing, high-volume cementing, and high-sand flowback, standard target elbows are famously dense, bulky, and difficult to maneuver. This lightweight XF version features precision-machined external profiles that strip away excess metal from non-pressurized zones. Internally, it retains the signature dual-chamber stagnation pockets. These pockets capture a sacrificial layer of stagnant sand and fluid, which absorbs the impact of incoming high-velocity slurries, protecting the core alloy shell from erosion and premature wall-thinning.

The 3" FIG 1502 configuration provides a standard high-pressure male wing end complete with a heavy-duty wingnut, paired with a precision-machined female thread (sub) connection. This delivers a direct, secure, and leak-free hammer-up connection for high-volume mainlines while optimizing field ergonomics for temporary or mobile iron packages.

Features & Benefits

• XF Model Designation: Manufactured to the exact XF dimensional and flow profile specifications, ensuring seamless compatibility with corresponding XF flowline systems and manifolds.

• Optimized Lightweight Profile: Engineered with a streamlined outer block geometry to remove dead weight, making manual handling, alignment, and hammer-up vastly easier for field crews.

• Dual-Cushion Erosion Barrier: Features high-performance dual internal stagnation chambers that catch fluid and sand to form a natural shield against direct particle impingement.

• Full 15K CWP Capacity: Despite its weight-optimized exterior, the integral body is forged from premium alloys to safely handle continuous extreme working pressures up to 15,000 PSI.

• Direct MxF Connection: Equipped with a standard 3" 1502 wingnut on one side and a threaded sub on the other, allowing fast installation without extra adapter fittings.

Specifications & Technical Details

Applications

This lightweight XF 3-inch double cushion elbow is ideal for temporary treating lines and high-pressure surface routing where erosive fluids are pumped and rapid manual deployment is critical. Typical applications include high-rate frac manifold mainlines, mobile sand separator outlet configurations, flowback iron corners, long-duration well testing setups, and cementing discharge lines requiring the XF equipment profile.

Quality Assurance

All our lightweight double cushion elbows are manufactured from premium forged alloy steel and subjected to rigorous quality control processes. Each block undergoes dimensional layout checks, non-destructive testing (NDT), and strict hydrostatic testing to guarantee ultimate shell integrity, seal performance, and pressure containment under peak field conditions. Full material test reports (MTRs) are available upon request.
