   • Continuous service: Up to 180°F (82°C)
2. Pressure Ratings:
   • For DWV (drainage, waste, and vent) applications: Maximum head pressure test of 30 feet (15 PSI).
   • For pressure waste applications: Up to 50 PSI (subject to manufacturer’s review of design).
   • For Fuseal Fast-Lock Mechanical Joint: Up to 35 PSI.
3. Material Options:
   • Flame-retardant (PPFR) and non-flame-retardant (PPNFR) materials are available.
   • These materials can be used for pressurized drainage applications up to 50 PSI.
4. Low Installation Costs:
   • Quick and easy installations using Fuseal electrofusion technology and/or Fast-Lock mechanical joint fittings.

Applications

GF Fuseal® PP Special Waste Piping System finds its place in various settings such as:

• Chemical Plants: Where aggressive chemicals flow through drainage systems.
• Industrial Plants: For handling corrosive waste mixtures.
• Hospitals: Ensuring safe disposal of medical waste.
• University Laboratories: Where chemical experiments generate hazardous byproducts.

Weld Joining Methods

GF Fuseal Schedule 40 and 80 Polypropylene Pipe and Fittings are joined using the fusion coil method. Here’s how it works:

1. Fusion Coil Method:
   • The Fuseal heat fusion process combines the pipe and fitting into one complete homogenous unit.
   • A low-voltage Fuseal power unit is connected to an electrical resistance coil embedded in the Fuseal fitting.
   • When power is applied, the coil heats up and completely fuses the interface between the pipe and the fitting socket.

Pipe and Fitting Options

1. Schedule 40 and 80 Polypropylene Pipe:
   • Flame-Retardant (FR): Ideal for applications where fire safety is crucial. Available in Schedule 40.
   • Non-Flame-Retardant (NFR): Suitable for non-fire-risk areas. Available in Schedule 40 and 80.
   • The complete line of fittings includes all standard DWV configurations in 1 ½” through 12” pipe sizes.
2. Fittings:
   • Some of the fittings that we carry include couplings, 1/4 (90°) Bend Vent, Sleeve Coupling, 1/6 (60 °) Bend, 1/4 (91.2 °) Bend Long Sweep, 1/8 (45°) Bend, 1/4 (91.2°) Bend Short Sweep, 1/8 (45°) Bend Street, 1/4 (91.2°) Bend Street and 1/12 (30°) Bend.
