Ipex 257184 Frpp Fusion Acid Waste 90 Elbow 2 Inches

Product Description

The IPEX 257184 is a 2-inch flame-retardant polypropylene (FRPP) electrofusion 90-degree elbow designed for corrosive chemical waste drainage systems. Part of the IPEX Enfield electrofusion-joint system, this fitting uses heavy-gauge resistance wire molded directly into the socket to produce controlled, repeatable fusion joints without loose components. The Enfield system is rated for an operating temperature range of -10 degrees F to 212 degrees F, allowing systems to be flushed with boiling water. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in non-return-air-plenum chemical waste applications where joint reliability and chemical resistance are critical.

The IPEX 257184 is suited for laboratory, industrial, and institutional chemical waste drain systems where corrosive effluent rules out standard PVC or ABS piping. The electrofusion process produces joints in approximately 2 minutes, allowing multiple joints to be made in sequence and reducing overall installation time. The fitting is manufactured to meet ASTM F1412 requirements for polyolefin pipe and fittings used in corrosive waste drainage, and the base material complies with ASTM D4101 for polypropylene injection and extrusion materials. This part is listed to NSF 14 and carries IAPMO listing.

Key Features

• Electrofusion joint process produces a secure, repeatable bond in approximately 2 minutes
• Heavy-gauge resistance wire molded into the socket — no loose components, consistent fusion depth
• Operating temperature range: -10 degrees F to 212 degrees F, compatible with boiling-water flush procedures
• Flame-retardant polypropylene (FRPP) construction for non-return-air-plenum chemical waste service
• Heavy-duty socket terminal posts with protection ears for straightforward field connections
• Maintenance-free joints with no breakage risk associated with glass or ceramic alternatives

Compatibility

Designed for use within the IPEX Enfield electrofusion-joint system for FRPP corrosive waste drainage piping. Pipe and fittings within the Enfield system are matched to one another for dimensional consistency and long-term joint reliability. A non-flame-retardant polypropylene (NFRPP) version is also available for applications where flame-retardant ratings are not required.

Installation Notes

Installation of electrofusion fittings requires a compatible microprocessor-controlled fusion unit — field heat guns or open-flame tools are not appropriate for this joint type. Licensed plumbers should follow the applicable International Plumbing Code (IPC) and ASTM F1412 installation procedures, including proper pipe end preparation and socket cleaning before fusion. Drain, isolate, and depressurize the waste system before cutting into any existing line. Allow completed joints to cool undisturbed for the manufacturer-specified hold time before handling or pressure testing.
