Electrofusion tee for PE pipes – reliability and durability of connections

This 90-degree electrofusion tee with a diameter of 160 mm, made of PE-100 polyethylene with an SDR 11 ratio, is a key element of water and gas installations. Designed to work with gas at a pressure of PN10 and water at a pressure of PN16, it ensures safe and tight connections. Its construction allows for welding/butt fusion, which guarantees durability and corrosion resistance.

Construction and practical application

This tee is intended for connecting polyethylene pipes in water distribution, gas, and other media systems. Made of high-quality PE-100 material, it is characterized by high resistance to mechanical and chemical damage. A 90-degree angle makes it easier to run the installation at a right angle, minimizing pressure loss. SDR 11 refers to the ratio of the outer diameter of the pipe to the thickness of its wall – the lower the SDR value, the thicker the wall and the higher the pressure resistance.

Using an electrofusion tee requires the use of appropriate tools for welding/butt fusing polyethylene. After the connection is made correctly, the tee becomes an integral part of the installation, ensuring long-term and trouble-free operation. Thanks to its construction and material, it is ideally suited for both underground and above-ground installations.
