HDPE Electrofusion Reinforcing Saddle
The HDPE Electrofusion Reinforcing Saddle is designed to provide additional mechanical strength and support to HDPE pipelines, particularly around branch connections, tapping points, or previously repaired areas. Manufactured from high-quality PE100 material, this saddle uses electrofusion technology to form a strong, permanent bond with the host pipe. It ensures structural integrity in pressure pipelines and enhances long-term performance, especially in areas subject to mechanical stress or high-pressure operation.
Key Features of HDPE Electrofusion Reinforcing Saddle
Enhanced Structural Support – Reinforces weak points or tapping areas in pipelines
Permanent Bonding – Electrofusion welding delivers a strong, leak-proof seal
Prevents Stress Cracks & Deformation – Ideal for pressure-rated installations
Suitable for Water, Gas & Industrial Fluids – Versatile across various industries
Simple Installation – Compatible with standard electrofusion equipment
Corrosion & Chemical Resistant – Long service life even in aggressive environments

HDPE PIPE FITTINGS
HDPE Electro Fusion Fittings
Electrofusion fittings are specialized HDPE components designed with embedded electric heating elements that, when energized, melt and fuse the fitting to the pipe surface. This technique provides a secure, leak-proof, and durable joint, making it ideal for high-pressure and critical pipeline applications. Electrofusion is especially preferred when working in confined spaces, where using large butt fusion equipment is impractical.
HDPE Butt Fusion Fittings
Butt fusion fittings are one of the most reliable and widely used types of HDPE pipe fittings. These fittings are joined using a butt fusion welding process, which involves heating the ends of both the pipe and the fitting to a precise temperature (typically around 200–220°C), then pressing them together under controlled pressure until they fuse into a single continuous piece. This results in a permanent, seamless, and high-integrity joint.
