Nomaco PESF90L3 Socket Fusion 90 Degree Elbow 3 Inch

Product Description

The NOMACO PESF90L3 is a 3-inch IPS socket fusion 90-degree elbow designed for polyethylene piping systems. This fitting creates a right-angle directional change in a PE pipe run and is joined using standard socket fusion tooling, which heats both the pipe end and fitting socket simultaneously before pressing them together to form a permanent, leak-free bond. It is sized for 3-inch IPS outside-diameter pipe. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on geothermal loops, hydronic systems, water service laterals, and industrial fluid distribution systems are the primary installers of this fitting.

Socket fusion fittings in this size range are common in residential and light commercial construction where polyethylene pipe is specified for below-grade or above-grade fluid conveyance. The 90-degree geometry suits transitions at building entries, directional offsets in trenched runs, and mechanical room piping configurations. IPS sizing ensures compatibility with standard PE pipe manufactured to IPS outside-diameter dimensions.

Key Features

• 90-degree elbow geometry for right-angle directional changes in PE pipe runs
• 3-inch IPS sizing matches standard polyethylene pipe outside-diameter dimensions
• Socket fusion joining method creates a permanent, monolithic bond with no mechanical fasteners
• Suited for buried, surface, and mechanical room piping applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style socket fusion fitting for 3-inch IPS outside-diameter polyethylene pipe systems.

Installation Notes

Socket fusion fittings are installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters using manufacturer-specified socket fusion tooling sized for 3-inch IPS pipe. Shut off and depressurize the piping system fully before cutting into any live line. Allow the fused joint to cool undisturbed for the full time specified by the fusion equipment manufacturer before restoring flow or pressure. Follow applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements for PE piping installation and burial depth.
