IPS 45° x 24" STANDARD RADIUS ELBOWS - BELOW GROUND
The IPS 45° x 24" Standard Radius Elbows are expertly designed to meet the demanding requirements of below-ground conduit systems, delivering outstanding durability, adaptability, and installation efficiency. Made in the USA and built from high-quality fiberglass, these elbows are engineered for diverse infrastructure applications. Electrical contractors and specifying engineers rely on these elbows for reliable performance in challenging environments, from utilities and data centers to wastewater treatment plants and beyond.
Key Features and Benefits:
-
Enhanced Cable Protection and Durability:
Constructed using a single-circuit winding process, these fiberglass elbows provide a low coefficient of friction, effectively protecting cables from wear and tear during installation and use.
The smooth interior prevents burn-through, unlike traditional steel or PVC-coated alternatives, significantly reducing the risk of cable damage, even under high-stress pulling conditions.
Fiberglass resists corrosion and moisture, making these elbows ideal for below-ground applications where long-term durability is essential. -
Lightweight and Installation-Friendly:
Fiberglass is significantly lighter than galvanized steel or PVC-coated conduit, facilitating faster, easier handling and installation.
NECA labor data shows that fiberglass installations can be completed in a fraction of the time required for traditional conduit materials, especially for larger diameters, helping to accelerate project timelines and cut labor costs.
Reduced weight also means less physical strain on workers, promoting safer, more efficient installation practices. -
Certified for Quality and Safety:
These elbows are certified to meet ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management), ISO 14001:2015 (Environmental Responsibility), and ISO 45001:2018 (Occupational Health and Safety), providing industry-leading quality assurance.
Proudly manufactured in the USA, ensuring strict quality control and supporting local manufacturing standards.
These certifications guarantee that the product meets the highest levels of environmental, health, and safety standards, which are critical in demanding infrastructure applications.
Availability and Customization Options:
Understanding that each project has unique requirements, we offer the IPS 45° x 24" Standard Radius Elbows in a range of sizes and configurations to meet your specific needs.
-
Custom Sizes and Radii:
For projects with unique specifications, larger bends and radii are available upon request. This flexibility allows you to get precisely what you need, ensuring a perfect fit for your conduit system.
-
Transition Fittings for Seamless Integration:
For installations that require transitions from fiberglass to other materials (such as GRC or PVC-coated systems), we offer a range of transition and termination fittings. These fittings are pre-configured to adapt seamlessly to various conduit materials, allowing for smooth integration across different systems.
This means that your IPS elbows arrive on-site ready to install, streamlining the workflow and reducing installation time.
-
Pre-Configured Transition Ends:
Our elbows come with transition ends tailored to your specifications, providing you with the flexibility needed for diverse applications. Transition ends include:
- Plain Ends: Ideal for applications where no additional couplings or adapters are necessary.
- Couplings: Available in PVC or fiberglass, these couplings offer secure connections and flexibility for various installation requirements.
- Adapters: Male and female adapters are available in PVC or fiberglass, allowing compatibility with different conduit types and simplifying connections.
- PVC Stubs: For applications that require PVC extension, providing additional adaptability for specialized installations.
To help you select the exact product for your requirements, we provide the following item suffix options for customization:
-
Fiberglass Coupling Options:
Add suffix “-1F” to the item number if you need a single fiberglass coupling.
Use suffix “-2F” if your project requires two fiberglass couplings. -
Deep Socket PVC Couplings:
Add “-1D” to the item number for one deep socket PVC coupling.
Add “-2D” if you need two deep socket PVC couplings for additional security. -
Custom Adapters:
For installations that require specific male/female adapters or stubs, contact Champion Fiberglass for guidance on item numbers and custom configurations.
