Before diving into this section it is important to know how electrofusion fittings work as these make up a large amount of our pipeline components
Electrofusion fittings work by being connected to an electrofusion control unit (ECU), which heats up the electrical coil inside the fitting. Once hot enough this allows the fitting to melt onto the surface of the pipes and create a strong joint.
Now let's dive into the different products.
A flange is a mechanical component used to connect pipes, valves, pumps and other equipment within a piping system.
A tapping tee is used to create a branch connection from a live polyethylene (PE) water or gas main pipe. This allows a connection to be made without needing to stop the mains supply.
A mitred elbow is a fabricated fitting, meaning it is created from sections of polyethylene pipe and butt-fused together. It is used to create a precise directional change and is produced in 11.25°, 22.5°, 45° and 90° variants.
An electrofusion (EF) elbow is a polyethylene (PE) pipe fitting that is designed to create a precise directional change for pipeline systems. Common angles are 11.25°, 22.5°, 45° and 90°. It uses electrical heating coils to fuse to polyethylene pipes using electrofusion.
An electrofusion coupler is used to join together two pieces of polyethylene pipe of the same diameter. When connected to an electrofusion control unit (ECU) the built in heating coils heat up, causing the coupler to melt onto the outer surface of the two pipes, this intern creates a strong joint.
An electrofusion reducer is a used to connect two pipes with different diameters. Working on the same principles as an electrofusion coupler, when the coils are heated up the fitting melts and creates a strong joint with the two varying diameter pipes.
An equal tee is an electrofusion fitting used to split a main pipeline into two branches of the same connection. Like all electrofusion fittings it uses an electrical heating coil to melt the fitting onto the polyethylene pipe to create a secure connection.
An unequal tee is an electrofusion fitting also referred to as a reducing tee. It uses the same concept as an equal tee, however is used when you wish to create a smaller take off connection than the original polyethylene main pipe.
An end cap is used to seal the end of a polyethylene pipe, as a result one end is open and one is closed. It works the same as all other electrofusion fittings with the coil being heated up.
