Electrofusion Coupler

electrofusion coupler is a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) fitting used to join PE pipes by passing an electric current through embedded heating coils. These couplers create a strong, homogeneous, and leak-free weld for gas, water, and industrial applications. They are efficient, durable, and ideal for tight spaces where butt welding is not possible.

Key Features and Specifications
  • Material: Made from PE100 or PE100RC virgin resin.
  • Mechanism: Embedded wire coils melt the pipe and coupler interface, creating a secure bond.
  • Operating Voltage: Typically ranges from 39.5V to 48V.
  • Identification: Features a barcode for automated welding parameters.
  • Pressure Rating: Suitable for high-pressure applications (e.g., up to PN25 bar).
nstallation Process
  1. Preparation: Cut the pipe square, clean thoroughly with degreasing wipes, and scrape the surface to remove the oxidized layer.
  2. Marking: Mark the insertion depth to ensure correct positioning.
  3. Assembly: Insert the pipes into the coupler, using re-rounding tools if necessary.
  4. Welding: Use an electrofusion processor to scan the barcode and apply the necessary current.
  5. Cooling: Allow the joint to cool completely before removing clamps or pressurizing, as specified by the manufacturer.
Advantages

  • High Strength: Produces a reliable, fully welded, leak-free joint.
  • Efficiency: Reduces assembly time and, in some cases, can be used for repairs without needing to expose the entire pipe length.
  • Versatility: Suitable for various applications, including mining, irrigation, and gas distribution.
