PE Mechanical Fittings

Mechanical fittings provide a fast effective jointing solution when Electrofusion or Butt-fusion is not suitable for the following reasons:

  • It is not possible to clean or dry the pipe well enough to make a fusion joint
  • Operatives with the required fusion training are not available
  • Only a few joints to undertake and so it is not cost effective to hire fusion tooling and equipment

Features & Benefits

  • Total end restraint system for PE & uPVC
  • The same fitting can be used for SDR11 / SDR17 or uPVC
  • Fittings are re-usable and easily dissembled for future adaptions
  • High quality epoxy corrosion protection coating
  • A full range of fittings including tees and elbows and gate valves available

Applications

Polyethylene and uPVC pipe jointing for:

  • Drinking water
  • Industrial & sewage water

Standards

Installation

  • The restraint system is effective independent of the pipe sealing and is achieved by tightening the lock ring
  • The pipe end can be pushed into the sealing chamber without major effort
  • The flat gasket is already mounted on the flange
  • External surfaces must be clean but installation can take place in wet conditions
  • Need to match coupling or flange adaptor specifications to pressure class of pipe system – due to the high end loads larger sizes have progressively lower pressure class limits
  • Follow the fitting manufacturers’ installation instructions including pipe end preparation
  • Larger diameters may require a reinforcing insert to be placed inside the pipe spigot
  • For thin walled PE-pipes (up to 3mm wall thickness) and low internal pressure as well the use of support liners is required
