SmartFuse is PLASSON’s electrofusion system – fittings with built-in resistors that load the correct weld parameters, control boxes that detect those parameters and monitor every weld, a free app that guides each step and records the job, and the tooling to prepare pipe correctly. It automatically removes manual input errors and generates weld reports. HowRead more
Unlike other plastics, polyethylene (PE) is not solvent-welded with glue. The method you choose to join poly pipe depends on the pressure, permanence and pipe material it is being joined to. Compression fittings seal with a captive O-ring the moment they go on the pipe and can afford a tool-free installation depending on diameter andRead more
Electrofusion (EF) joins polyethylene (PE) pipe using fittings with built-in heating coils. Current passed through the coils melts the surfaces of the pipe and the fitting, which mix under pressure and fuse into one permanent part as they cool. EF is used where butt fusion isn’t practical – adding valves, elbows, tees and saddles –Read more
