Electrofusion Fittings

These fittings are specifically designed for connecting polyethylene (PE) pipes using an electrofusion process, where an electrical energy is used to heat the fitting and the pipe's surface, fusing them together & making a homogenous joint.

 

Electrofusion Fittings

Advantages of using electrofusion fittings:

  • Strong and Durable Joints: Electrofusion fittings create strong and reliable joints that are resistant to leaks and pressure failures. The fusion process ensures a homogenous bond between the fitting and the pipe, providing a long-lasting and leak-proof connection.
  • Time and Cost Savings: Electrofusion fittings are quick and easy to install, significantly reducing labour costs and installation time compared to traditional welding methods. The electrofusion process eliminates the need for additional materials like solvents or mechanical fasteners.
  • Versatility: Electrofusion fittings are available in various shapes and sizes, making them suitable for a wide range of applications. Whether it's for water supply, gas distribution, or industrial pipelines, there's likely an electrofusion fitting that fits the specific needs of the project.
  • Joint Integrity: The electrofusion process creates a seamless and smooth transition between the pipe and the fitting, reducing the risk of blockages and minimizing pressure drop in the system.
  • Corrosion Resistance: PE pipes and electrofusion fittings are highly resistant to corrosion, making them ideal for underground and buried applications where the environment may be aggressive.
  • Flexibility: PE pipes and electrofusion fittings have a certain degree of flexibility, which allows them to withstand ground movements, seismic activity, and temperature variations without compromising the joint integrity.
  • Chemical Resistance: Electrofusion fittings made from PE materials exhibit excellent resistance to various chemicals and substances, making them suitable for a wide range of applications in different industries.
  • Environmentally Friendly: Electrofusion fittings do not require the use of hazardous chemicals or adhesives, making them an environmentally friendly option for joining pipes.
  • Reduced Maintenance: Due to their high durability and resistance to corrosion, electrofusion fittings generally require minimal maintenance over their lifespan, leading to cost savings in the long run.
  • Leakage Prevention: The homogenous and welded joint formed by electrofusion reduces the risk of leaks, preventing potential damage to the surrounding environment and infrastructure.

Note: Successful implementation of electrofusion fittings relies on proper installation and adherence to recommended procedures, so trained and qualified personnel should handle the fusion process. Additionally, selecting the right type of electrofusion fittings suitable for the specific application is crucial for optimal performance and reliability.
