Manufactured from premium Type 316L stainless steel, these fittings offer outstanding corrosion resistance, superior weldability, and long-term durability in applications where performance and reliability are critical.

Produced to industry standards such as ASTM A403, ASME SA403, and ASME B16.9, T316L Schedule 10 Type C stub ends are widely used in chemical processing plants, pharmaceutical facilities, marine environments, food and beverage manufacturing, and water treatment systems.

Benefits of T316L Stainless Steel Schedule 10 Type C Stub Ends

Type 316L stainless steel contains molybdenum, providing enhanced resistance to chlorides, saltwater exposure, and aggressive chemicals. The low-carbon content minimizes carbide precipitation during welding, helping maintain the material's corrosion-resistant properties throughout the welded connection.

Key advantages include:

• Superior corrosion resistance

• Excellent resistance to chlorides and chemicals

• Outstanding weldability

• Lightweight Schedule 10 construction

• Flexible flange compatibility

• Long service life

• Low maintenance requirements

These characteristics make T316L Schedule 10 Type C stub ends an excellent solution for demanding industrial piping applications.

What Is a Type C Stub End?

Enhanced Installation Flexibility

Type C stub ends feature a lap design that allows compatibility with lap joint flanges and certain slip-on flange configurations, offering greater flexibility than traditional Type A stub ends.

Easy Maintenance and Alignment

The rotating backing flange simplifies bolt-hole alignment during installation and allows for easier disassembly when maintenance, inspection, or equipment replacement is required.

Smooth Flow Performance

The butt weld connection provides a continuous internal bore that promotes efficient flow and minimizes turbulence throughout the piping system.
