10078780 coupling 90du
Product ID: 10078780 – HP Coupling, 90° Elbow (3/8" High-Pressure 90-Degree Elbow)
Description:
This component is a high-pressure (HP) 90-degree elbow coupling, specifically designed for 3/8 inch ultra-high pressure (UHP) waterjet plumbing systems . It is a precision-machined stainless steel fitting used to change the direction of high-pressure water flow by 90 degrees within the system piping network .
This elbow is rated for continuous operation at 60,000 PSI (approximately 4,137 bar) . It features a 3/8 inch tube connection size on both ends (.38 x .38) . This fitting is an OEM replacement part compatible with KMT (KMT Waterjet Systems), AccuStream, and FLOW waterjet cutting equipment .
Applications:
Used to route high-pressure water lines around obstacles or connect components with offset ports in waterjet cutting systems .
Installed in high-pressure plumbing networks between the intensifier pump and the cutting head assembly or on/off valve .
Suitable for ultra-high pressure waterjet systems operating at 60,000 PSI (approximately 4,137 bar) .
Compatible with KMT, AccuStream, Flow, WSI, H2O Jet, and other major waterjet systems .
Features:
High-Strength Stainless Steel Construction: Provides excellent corrosion resistance and durability in harsh waterjet environments .
90-Degree Elbow Configuration: Allows efficient routing of high-pressure tubing in space-constrained areas, reducing vibration-related wear .
Precision-Machined Ports: Features precision threads and cone sealing surfaces for reliable metal-to-metal high-pressure connections .
60,000 PSI Pressure Rating: Engineered for continuous ultra-high pressure operation (4,137 bar) .
3/8 Inch Connection Size: Industry-standard size for medium to high flow waterjet systems .
Complete Assembly: Includes standard collars and glands for seamless integration .
Cross-Reference Information: Replaces or cross-references with OEM part numbers including A-0775-2, 1-13164-60-6, 49864473, 49864564, FTCL6600, 10316, 610316, L6HF60, 201514, and 7500014 .
Maintenance:
Inspection: Before installation, inspect the elbow body and ports for signs of pitting, erosion, cracking, or corrosion. Pay particular attention to cone sealing surfaces and internal passages .
Thread and Seal Care: Check the 3/8 inch threads for galling or damage. Ensure sealing cones are free of debris and nicks .
Torque Compliance: Tighten the fitting to the specific torque value listed in the equipment service manual to prevent high-pressure leaks or thread damage.
Lubrication: Apply a thin layer of manufacturer-recommended high-pressure thread lubricant or anti-seize compound to the threads during reassembly to prevent galling and ensure accurate torque application .
Full Depressurization: Always fully depressurize the waterjet system (both hydraulic and high-pressure water circuits) and follow lockout/tagout procedures before installing, removing, or servicing the elbow .
Replacement Criteria: Replace the elbow if threads are damaged, if cone sealing surfaces are scored or deformed, if cracks are detected, or if internal erosion is excessive .
Surface Wear Check: Inspect the fitting for surface wear each time the system is disassembled; damaged fittings should be replaced to ensure high-pressure integrity .
