It is used to create 90° branches in polyethylene pipe networks by electrofusion, forming a permanent and resistant joint through a controlled electrofusion process.
The electrofusion PE tee is used to create 90° branches in polyethylene pipe networks using electrofusion. 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 check the pipe diameter, SDR (Standard Design Rating) 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 fittings kept aligned during the process, and the welding and cooling times must be respected.
