ProFuseĀ® peelable gas pipe

A high performance peelable pipe for gas applications

ProFuseĀ® is a technologically advanced peelable pipe innovation for the transportation of natural and suitable manufactured gases in buried pipeline applications. It is a high performance solution with optimum joint integrity, damage protection and reduced installation time and costs to asset owners.

Manufactured from black PE100, ProFuseĀ® has been designed with a unique polypropylene peelable skin, which is applied to the core pipe during the manufacturing process. The skin offers excellent abrasion resistance and protects the pipe during handling, transportation, installation and reinstatement and is easily removed, using the pipe exposure tool (PET), revealing a pristine pipe surface, ready to be jointed using electrofusion or butt-fusion welding techniques.

  • Maximum jointing integrity
  • Installation time savings, especially at larger diameters
  • Ideal for no-dig installations as the skin protects the core pipe from potential abrasion
  • Full size core pipe
