Toggle-Clamp Electrofusion Tapping Tee for PE100 Mains | 40-63mm Outlet | 4mm Auto Pin | Water PN16 / Gas 10 Bar | Snap-On Tool-Free Branch Connections for Live Gas & Water Networks

Toggle-Clamp Tapping Tee — Tool-Free Branch Connections

A toggle-clamp electrofusion tapping tee provides a direct service connection from a live or dead PE main. The spring-loaded clamp snaps quickly into place around the pipe — saving time and avoiding the need for specialist tooling — then the fusion mat is welded to the pipe wall and the outlet creates a branch for service lines with 40-63mm outlets on mains from 63mm to 225mm.

It delivers security, safety, simplicity and speed at the point of installation. The tamper-proof LockCap guarantees correct installation — it cannot be over-tightened and won't vibrate loose — while two O-ring seals protect against leakage. An optional cutter tube locks into the integral cutter for a leak-free cut-through of the main pipe.

Manufactured from virgin PE100 black polyethylene, rated PN16 for water and 10 bar for gas. For UK gas applications: 5.5 bar Class B / 7 bar Class C (size and outlet dependent). Operating temperature range: -10°C to +40°C.

Typical Applications

• Live-main service connections without interrupting flow
• Gas network branch connections to district networks
• Water utility service tappings from distribution mains
• Irrigation lateral connections from trunk lines
• Mining process water service branches
• Rapid repair and retrofit of existing PE networks

Key Features & Benefits

• Toggle-clamp design snaps quickly in place — saves time and avoids the need for specialist tooling
• Manufactured using virgin PE100 black polyethylene for long-term durability
• Water PN16 / Gas 10 Bar rating (dependent on PE pipe welded)
• Live or dead main connection — no need to shut down the pipeline
• Tamper-proof LockCap — cannot be over-tightened, won't vibrate loose
• Two O-ring seals protect against leakage at the clamp interface
• Optional cutter tube locks into the integral cutter for leak-free cut-through of the main pipe
• Double spigot outlet — sufficient spigot length to cut off the coupler and fuse a second fitting
• Optimised saddle and fusion mat minimize joint cycle times
• 4mm automatic pin — auto-detects welding parameters, prevents operator error
• SDR range 11–17.6, covering common PE pipe wall thicknesses
• Rising pin fusion indicators allow easy visual monitoring of the fusion process
• Welding parameters moulded directly into the fitting body
• Individually numbered for precise batch tracking and quality control
• Permanent batch number clearly marked for traceability
• Barcode and QR code enables full traceability back to raw materials
• Welding barcode compliant with ISO 13950; traceability barcode compliant with ISO 12176-4
• Fully welded joint — no gaskets, no flanges, no future maintenance

Reference Numbers & Dimensions

Note: All stated technical specifications depend on the PE pipe welded to and local pipeline pressure regulations. SDR range 11–17.6 applies across all sizes. Please contact us for detailed CAD drawings.
