Nomaco PEBF90L2 Butt Fusion 90 Degree Elbow 2 Inches

Product Description

The NOMACO PEBF90L2 is a 2-inch butt fusion 90-degree elbow fitting designed for polyethylene piping systems. It creates a leak-free directional change in buried or above-ground PE pipe runs using a heat fusion joining method that produces a joint as strong as the pipe itself. Plumbers and pipeline contractors working on water distribution, geothermal loops, and irrigation systems use this fitting where a square-turn transition is required. Butt fusion eliminates mechanical joints in the run, reducing potential leak points in high-pressure or continuous-flow applications.

This elbow is suited for residential and light commercial piping projects where polyethylene pipe is the specified material. Typical applications include potable water service lines, reclaimed water distribution, radiant heating loops, and agricultural irrigation laterals. The 2-inch size fits standard IPS or DIPS PE pipe of matching outside diameter, making it a straightforward selection for service line and distribution work.

Key Features

• 90-degree directional change in a single butt fusion fitting
• 2-inch nominal size for common service line and distribution applications
• Butt fusion joint method produces a monolithic, leak-free connection
• Compatible with standard polyethylene pipe systems
• Eliminates mechanical fittings at directional changes, reducing leak risk

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fitting for 2-inch polyethylene butt fusion piping systems. Verify pipe outside diameter and SDR rating before installation to confirm fusion compatibility.

Installation Notes

Butt fusion joining requires a certified fusion technician and a properly sized butt fusion machine capable of matching the pipe and fitting outside diameter. Follow ASTM F2620 or the pipe manufacturer fusion procedures for heat soak time, fusion pressure, and cooling time. Power down and de-pressurize the system fully before cutting into any live line. Do not rush the cooling cycle; premature handling of the joint before it reaches ambient temperature can compromise joint integrity.
