Electrofusion Fittings

Electrofusion fittings are specialized plastic pipe fittings that are used to join two pieces of polyethylene (PE) pipes together. These fittings utilize an electric current to melt the surfaces of the two pipes and fuse them together. Electrofusion fittings are commonly used in applications such as gas and water distribution, industrial piping systems, and mining operations. Electrofusion fittings typically consist of two parts: a fitting body and an electrical heating coil. The fitting body is designed to match the outside diameter and wall thickness of the PE pipe being joined. The electrical heating coil is inserted into the fitting body and used to heat the surfaces of the two pipes to their melting point, allowing them to fuse together.
