PE Electrofusion Fittings — Outside diameter 32 mm

Electrofusion delivers the highest integrity jointing benchmark for polyethylene pipeline networks. Electrical resistance wires are embedded within the fitting body; connecting the control unit leads to the terminal pins passes a regulated current that melts the polymer interface into a homogeneous fusion zone.

This methodology is the industry standard across natural gas distribution grids where leak-tight performance is critical and within confined urban excavations with limited clearance.

Featured products in this category include electrofusion tapping tees and PE-to-steel transition fittings. The tapping tee incorporates an internal integral cutter, allowing safe branch tapping from pressurized gas or water mains without shutting down service.

The PE-to-steel transition fitting provides a permanent, factory-assembled joint connecting modern polymer networks to steel pipeline stations, meters, and steel valves.

These fittings are manufactured under European standard EN 1555-3 for gaseous fuel distribution. Fusion execution requires an electrofusion control unit (compliant with ISO 12176-2 in the pe-welding-machines category).

Scraping the outer oxidation layer from the pipe surface prior to fitting placement and immobilizing the joint until cooling ends are essential for passing hydrostatic and pneumatic proof tests.
