Nomaco PEBF90L3 Butt Fusion 90 Degree Elbow 3 Inches

Product Description

The NOMACO PEBF90L3 is a 3-inch butt fusion 90-degree elbow fitting designed for thermoplastic piping systems. This fitting joins straight pipe runs at a right angle using the butt fusion welding process, which heats both mating surfaces and fuses them under pressure to create a continuous, leak-free joint. It is suited for potable water, geothermal, irrigation, and industrial fluid conveyance systems where a permanent, high-integrity directional change is required. Plumbers, pipefitters, and utility contractors install this type of fitting wherever the pipe routing must turn 90 degrees.

The PEBF90L3 is intended for use in 3-inch diameter thermoplastic piping installations. Butt fusion elbows of this type are commonly found in residential and light commercial water service lines, geothermal loop fields, reclaimed water systems, and underground utility distribution. The fitting is compatible with pipe conforming to the same material and outside diameter standard, and it is joined using a butt fusion machine sized for 3-inch pipe.

Key Features

• 3-inch nominal size for standard thermoplastic pipe runs
• 90-degree elbow geometry for right-angle direction changes
• Butt fusion joint method creates a monolithic, no-leak connection
• Eliminates mechanical fittings, reducing potential leak points in buried or concealed systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style butt fusion elbow replacement for 3-inch thermoplastic piping systems using standard butt fusion joining procedures.

Installation Notes

Butt fusion fittings are installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters using a dedicated butt fusion welding machine rated for the pipe size and material. Before beginning any fusion work, shut off flow and depressurize the line completely. Follow the pipe and fitting manufacturer's fusion temperature, heating time, and cooling time parameters exactly — do not substitute values from other materials or pipe schedules. Installations involving potable water or pressure-rated service should comply with applicable local plumbing codes and ASTM or AWWA standards for the pipe material in use.
