Fuseal Fast-Lock 1/8 bend 45° street PP

  Datasheet (PDF)

The Georg Fischer Fuseal Fast-Lock 45-degree street bend (1/8 bend) provides directional diversion in flame-retardant polypropylene corrosive waste drainage and industrial DWV systems. Engineered for laboratory, chemical process, and institutional facilities, this compact spigot-by-socket fitting integrates a mechanical Fast-Lock collar connection that eliminates chemical adhesives and curing wait times while maintaining a 35 psi operating rating.

Technical specifications

The Fuseal Fast-Lock street 45-degree bend redirects flow pathways in special chemical waste pipelines utilizing a socket-to-spigot profile rated for intermittent pressure service. Manufactured from flame-retardant polypropylene, it withstands aggressive chemical effluents across wide thermal operating boundaries.

• Component type: 45-degree street bend (1/8 bend, socket x spigot)
• Nominal pressure rating: 35 psi for vacuum and pumped drainage
• Continuous operating temperature: up to 180 degrees Fahrenheit (82 degrees Celsius)
• Intermittent operating temperature: up to 212 degrees Fahrenheit (100 degrees Celsius)
• Material composition: Flame-retardant polypropylene (PPFR)
• Joint configuration: Fast-Lock mechanical joint collar with interchangeable electrofusion geometry

Applications

This fitting is designed specifically for handling aggressive chemical effluents across industrial, scientific, and healthcare DWV drainage installations. Its specialized polypropylene formulation delivers high corrosion immunity against dilute mineral acids, alkalis, alcohols, solvents, and aqueous acid salts.

Common installations include university and research laboratories, hospital utility systems, pharmaceutical life sciences production, and food and beverage processing facilities. The material does not rust, pit, scale, or corrode, and remains impervious to electrolytic degradation. In above-ground routing, stabilized pigmentation also provides protection against ultraviolet radiation exposure while safely conveying high-temperature discharge media.

Installation and jointing

The Fast-Lock mechanical joint system allows immediate pressure testing and active operation without solvent cements, applicators, or curing delays. Connection assembly requires only a standard cordless or manual ratchet driver fitted with an 8 mm or 10 mm socket.

The compact geometry fits into restricted architectural cavities, including space between structural walls where traditional fusion or bulkier mechanical fittings cannot be accommodated. Because no grooving tools are needed, joint preparation remains fast and safe with zero hazardous solvent fumes. In addition, the collar interface shares modular compatibility with Fuseal electrofusion collars, allowing effortless system transitions between mechanical and fused connections.
