Electro Fusion Fittings
An alternative form of welding polyethylene (poly or PE) is the Electrofusion system where heating elements are embedded in PE fitting sockets. These sockets form part of a coupling or other fitting and require an electrical input from a welding machine to produce a welded joint. * The wide range selection of high quality joining systems (Electrofusion and spigot fittings), machines, tools and accessories is representative of an informed and solution approach to our customers needs for high pressure systems. * An Electrofusion fitting is composed of a polyethylene body in which wire coils and terminals are embedded at manufacturing stage. When charged through the terminals with the Electrofusion control unit, the coil is heated which is then transferred to the fitting and pipe. * Heat and the resulting pressure causes the surface to melt and bond at molecular level. If the correct procedure is followed, there is no separation between fitting and pipe at the point of fusion.
