Electrofusion Coupler Fittings

An electrofusion coupler fitting / HDPE coupling Fitting is used to join two lengths of poly pipe in a straight line. HDPE coupling Fittings are also used to join a long spigot fitting to a piece of pipe. With a size range from 20 mm to 800 mm, electrofusion coupling fittings come in SDR 11 (which also suits SDR 13.6 & SDR 17). SDR 11 electrofusion couplers are rated to PN16 water and 1000 kPa gas, and SDR 17 electrofusion couplers are rated to PN10 water and PN6 gas. Electrofusion coupler fittings are made from PE100 material with a precisely moulded energizing coil of wire, ensuring uniform melting for a strong electrofusion joint and the minimisation of welding and cooling times. Electrofusion couplings are suitable for use for HDPE Pipe, and welded with an electrofusion pressure welder. Electrofusion coupling joiners may also be known as electrofusion joiners, HDPE coupling Fitting, electrofusion socket fittings or EF pipe joiners. Electrofusion coupling sizes available:

Training for Plumbers – Electrofusion Jointing for HDPE pressure and drainage pipes As with welding carried out on any material used for engineering purposes, fusion welding of polyethylene (HDPE) for plumbing and drainage pipe systems is a skilled operation which must be carried out by suitably trained and certified tradespersons. Training and accreditation is mandatory for plumbers under the Plumbing Code of Australia (PCA) as both AS/NZS 3500.1 Plumbing and drainage – Water services and AS/NZS 3500.2 Plumbing and drainage – Sanitary plumbing and drainage contain references to AS/NZS 2033 Installation of polyethylene pipe systems.  AS/NZS 2033 Clause 4.2 Fusion Jointing specifies “Only trained and certified operators shall carry out fusion jointing”. Acu-Tech facilitates Nationally Accredited training courses covering fusion welding procedures through Polyweld Tech Academy which is a Registered Training Organisation (RTO).
