Description
Developed to deliver robust, long-term pipeline connections for both water and gas systems. This coupling is manufactured from PE 100-RC, a polyethylene material selected for its enhanced resistance to slow crack growth and point loading typically seen in trench-installed systems. The design, rated to SDR 11, supports high pressures, up to 16 bar for water pipelines and up to 10 bar in gas applications, making it suitable for demanding supply networks.
The coupler features an integral removable centre stop that facilitates accurate central alignment of the pipes during joint assembly, further ensuring the integrity of the fusion zone. Installation compatibility is broadened by the fact that the fitting is suitable for use with standard electrofusion welding machines and is sized to accommodate pipe diameters from 20mm up to 315mm.
Key Features & Benefits
- High-performance material: The PE 100-RC construction offers enhanced crack-resistance and durability in harsh underground environments.
- Dual service suitability: Rated for both water and gas, delivering flexibility for networks requiring multipurpose fittings.
- Industry-standard dimensioning (SDR 11): Ensures compatibility with other SDR 11 system components and supports high-pressure operation.
- Removable centre stop (for most sizes): Facilitates quick and accurate insertion of pipes and ensures consistent, central fusion alignment.
- Pressure rated for demanding networks: With 16 bar water and 10 bar gas rating, the fitting meets the needs of high-pressure applications.
- Standards-compliant manufacture: Adherence to EN 1555 and EN 12201 provides assurance of quality and interoperability in network installations.
