Electrofusion fitting (electro-muff) HDPE 160, black color (HDPE sewage system) 369.771.16.1

Electrofusion socket for HDPE drainage systems

PEHD electrofusion socket with a diameter of 160 mm, designed for joining polyethylene (PE) pipes in pressurized drainage and drainage systems. It is a key element of the Geberit HDPE system, ensuring durable and tight connections, especially in demanding installation conditions. The socket enables electrofusion welding, which guarantees reliability and long-term operation.

The socket made of polyethylene (PE-80) is characterized by high chemical resistance – it withstands the action of approximately 95% of standard alkalis, acids and chemical substances. Additionally, the material is resistant to UV radiation, which allows for longer-term outdoor storage of pipes without loss of properties. This is an ideal solution for both installers and end-users looking for a reliable and durable drainage system.

Features and applications

The Geberit PE-HD electrofusion socket has a wide range of applications in various areas:

• Drainage of water from buildings: effective removal of wastewater and rainwater.
• Roof drainage: both conventional (gravity) and vacuum systems.
• Industrial installations: chemical resistance allows for use in difficult industrial conditions.
• Laying in concrete: the possibility of direct concreting provides additional protection and stability of the installation.
• Outdoor applications: UV resistance allows for installation outdoors without fear of material degradation.

The socket is compatible with pipes with an outer diameter of 160 mm (DN 150) made of polyethylene PE-80. Its simple construction and the lack of the need to use additional seals or valves make installation quick and easy, and the connection maintains high tightness. This allows installers to effectively implement projects, and users to enjoy trouble-free system operation for many years.

Construction and parameters

The socket is characterized by a simple construction, which translates into ease of installation and connection reliability. Made of raw polyethylene PE-80, it provides adequate mechanical and chemical strength. The working length of the connection is 1.5 mm on both sides of the socket, which provides optimal conditions for electrofusion welding. The weight of a single socket is approximately 0.273 kg and its dimensions are 60 mm in length with a nominal diameter of DN 150. It is important to select the correct electrofusion welding parameters in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations for machines and tools and the Geberit HDPE technical specification.
