Electrofusion is a method of joining MDPE,HDPE and other plastic pipes with special fittings that have built-in electric heating elements which are used to weld the joint together. The pipes to be joined are cleaned,inserted into the electrofusion fitting (with a temporary clamp if required) and a voltage (typically 40V) is applied for a fixed time depending on the fitting in use,the built in heater coils then melt the inside of the fitting and the outside of the pipe wall which weld together producing a very strong homogeneous joint. The joints produced tend to be more reliable than threaded fittings sealed with O-rings | |
