It is used to make 90° changes of direction in polyethylene pipes by electrofusion joining, forming a permanent and resistant joint through a controlled electrofusion process.
The 90° PE electrofusion elbow is used to create 90° changes in direction in polyethylene pipes using electrofusion joining. This type of fitting incorporates an electric heating element which, when used with compatible electrofusion equipment, heats the joint area in a controlled manner, resulting in a homogeneous and durable connection. It is commonly used in water supply systems, irrigation, hydraulic networks, and pressurized PE pipelines. Before installation, it is important to verify the pipe diameter, SDR or series, working pressure, material compatibility, and welding parameters specified by the manufacturer . To achieve a proper joint, the surfaces must be adequately prepared, the pipe scraped and cleaned as needed, the parts kept aligned during the process, and the welding and cooling times must be respected.
