Ipex 257171 Frpp Fusion Acid Waste Sweep 90 Elbow 1-1/2 in

Product Description

The IPEX 257171 is a 1-1/2 inch flame-retardant polypropylene (FRPP) fusion sweep 90 elbow designed for chemical and acid waste drainage systems. Part of the Enfield electrofusion-joint system, it uses a microprocessor-controlled fusion process to create secure, repeatable joints in approximately 2 minutes. Heavy-gauge resistance wire is molded directly into the socket, eliminating loose components and ensuring controlled, consistent fusion. The fitting handles an operating temperature range from -10 degrees F to 212 degrees F, making it suitable for systems that require periodic hot-water flushing. Licensed plumbers and corrosive-waste system installers handle this fitting in laboratory, industrial, and institutional drain applications.

The IPEX 257171 is intended for non-return-air-plenum chemical waste drainage installations where corrosive or acid-bearing effluent is present. Typical settings include laboratories, pharmaceutical facilities, schools, and industrial process areas where polypropylene's chemical resistance outperforms cast iron or glass drainage alternatives. The Enfield system allows multiple joints to be prepared simultaneously, reducing overall installation time compared to traditional solvent-weld or glass systems. All Enfield FRPP pipe and fittings comply with ASTM F1412 and ASTM D4101 material requirements, and are listed to NSF 14 and IAPMO standards.

Key Features

• Electrofusion joints completed in approximately 2 minutes with microprocessor-controlled Enfusion unit for repeatable, secure connections
• Heavy-gauge resistance wire molded into sockets — no loose components, controlled fusion every time
• Operating temperature range: -10 degrees F to 212 degrees F, allowing boiling-water system flushing
• Flame-retardant polypropylene (FRPP) construction meets ASTM F1412 and ASTM D4101 requirements
• Listed to NSF 14 standard and IAPMO for corrosive waste drainage applications
• Maintenance-free system with no breakage risk and installed cost significantly lower than comparable glass drain systems

Compatibility

Designed for use within the IPEX Enfield electrofusion-joint system for corrosive and acid waste drainage. Compatible with Enfield FRPP and NFRPP pipe and fittings conforming to ASTM F1412. Intended for non-return-air-plenum chemical waste applications only.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified corrosive-waste system installer familiar with electrofusion jointing procedures. Shut off all flow and depressurize the drain system before cutting into existing piping. Use the Enfield Enfusion microprocessor-controlled fusion unit — do not attempt to fuse joints with unapproved heat sources. Follow applicable plumbing code requirements, including IPC and IAPMO standards, for chemical waste drainage system installation and inspection.
