Ipex 257194 Frpp Fusion 45 Elbow 2 Inches Acid Waste

Product Description

The IPEX 257194 is a 2-inch flame-retardant polypropylene (FRPP) 45-degree elbow engineered for the Enfield electrofusion-joint drainage system. It is designed for chemical and acid waste drainage applications in non-return-air plenum environments. The fitting is manufactured from FRPP material that carries an operating temperature range of -10 degrees F to 212 degrees F, allowing systems to be flushed with boiling water. Joints are formed through an electrofusion process using a microprocessor-controlled Enfusion unit, producing secure, repeatable connections in approximately two minutes. Licensed plumbers and corrosive-waste drainage contractors are the primary installers of this fitting.

The 257194 elbow is suited for laboratory, industrial, and institutional chemical waste drainage systems where corrosive effluent is present. Its FRPP construction makes it appropriate for non-return-air plenum spaces where flame-retardant material is required by code. The Enfield system is designed so that multiple joints can be made simultaneously, reducing overall installation time on large projects. Because it is a matched system, Enfield pipe and fittings are sized and toleranced together for consistent fusion quality and long-term reliability.

Key Features

• Electrofusion joints complete in approximately 2 minutes, reducing installation time on multi-joint runs
• Heavy-gauge resistance wire molded directly into sockets — no loose components, controlled fusion every time
• Microprocessor-controlled Enfusion unit ensures joint repeatability and secure connections
• Operating temperature range of -10 degrees F to 212 degrees F supports boiling-water flush procedures
• Flame-retardant polypropylene (FRPP) construction meets plenum and corrosive-waste application requirements
• 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 corrosive and acid waste drainage. Compatible with Enfield FRPP pipe and fittings complying with ASTM F1412 and ASTM D4101 material specifications. Listed to NSF 14 standard and certified by IAPMO.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified corrosive-waste drainage contractor familiar with electrofusion joining procedures and applicable plumbing codes, including IPC and IAPMO standards. Shut off all flow and depressurize the drain system before cutting into an existing line. Use the designated Enfusion microprocessor-controlled fusion unit — do not attempt to substitute generic heating tools, as joint integrity depends on controlled energy input. Inspect socket terminals and pipe ends for contamination before fusing; moisture or debris in the socket will compromise joint strength.
