Beyond the Fitting: The Total System Approach to Electrofusion Installation

The integrity of an electrofusion joint extends beyond the quality of the Electrofusion Fittings themselves; it relies on the entire installation system. We advocate for a "Total System Approach" to electrofusion, ensuring that every element—the fitting, the pipe preparation tool, and the control unit—works in perfect harmony to create a guaranteed connection.

Our control units are the brain of the operation, featuring advanced microprocessors that not only read the fitting's barcode but also compensate for ambient temperature and input voltage fluctuations, guaranteeing the correct energy dose is delivered. We also emphasize the critical importance of proper pipe preparation. Our high-precision scrapers are designed to remove the oxidized surface layer of the pipe, exposing virgin material for optimal fusion. Neglecting this crucial step is the number one cause of electrofusion failure. By educating our customers and providing integrated tools and fittings that are designed to work together, we minimize the variables that lead to joint failure. The result is a simple, repeatable, and universally reliable joining method—a testament to the fact that when our high-quality Electrofusion Fittings are used with the correct process and equipment, they deliver a joint that is permanently stronger than the pipe itself.
