Electrofusion Reducing Tee for PE Pipes

Description

Electrofusion reducing tee is a polyethylene pipe fitting designed to connect a smaller-diameter branch to a larger-diameter main pipeline. It is intended for compatible PE piping systems where an electrofusion connection is specified. The reducing tee allows a branch connection to be made without using a separate reducing fitting and a standard tee.

Product Overview

This fitting features two equal-diameter inline ends and one smaller branch outlet positioned perpendicular to the main run. Its black polyethylene body is designed for use with compatible electrofusion pipe systems. During installation, the fitting is joined using the specified electrofusion equipment and the manufacturer’s approved welding procedure.

Available size combinations in the supplied dimensional chart range from D63/50 to D400/315. The first number identifies the main-run outside diameter, while the second identifies the smaller branch outside diameter, as indicated by the supplied D1 and D2 columns.

Key Features

• Reduced branch outlet: Connects a smaller branch pipe to a larger main pipeline.
• Electrofusion connection: Designed for compatible polyethylene pipes and approved electrofusion joining equipment.
• Compact T-shaped configuration: Integrates the main run and branch into one fitting.
• Multiple size combinations: The supplied dimensional chart covers main-run sizes from 63 mm to 400 mm and branch sizes from 50 mm to 315 mm.
• Black PE fitting body: Suitable for compatible PE piping systems, subject to confirmation of the exact material grade and service requirements.

Applications

Electrofusion reducing tees may be used in compatible polyethylene pipeline systems where a smaller branch connection is required. Potential applications include:

• Municipal water supply networks
• Building water distribution systems
• Industrial water pipelines
• Selected drainage and utility pipeline systems
• Other compatible PE pipeline installations requiring a reduced branch connection

Application suitability depends on the conveyed medium, operating pressure, temperature, pipe material, fitting specification and applicable local requirements. Confirm the product’s approvals before using it for drinking water, gas, fire protection or other regulated services.

Technical Specifications

Specification note: The dimensional table below reproduces the size combinations and measurements shown in the supplied product chart. The chart does not establish the fitting’s pressure rating, resin grade, SDR compatibility or applicable certification. Confirm these details using the current manufacturer datasheet before ordering.

Dimensional Specifications

All dimensions are in millimeters (mm). D1 and D2 follow the main-run and branch diameter values shown in the supplied chart. L, L1, L2, L3 and D retain the original drawing labels; use the manufacturer’s dimensioned drawing to confirm the precise measurement reference for each field.

Installation and Connection

Electrofusion reducing tees must be installed using equipment and procedures compatible with the fitting and pipe specifications. Pipe surface preparation, alignment, clamping, fusion parameters and cooling time should follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Do not assume that welding settings are identical across different fitting sizes or manufacturers.

Before installation, verify the main-run diameter, branch diameter, pipe material, pressure requirements and compatibility of the complete joint assembly. Inspect the completed joint in accordance with the applicable installation procedure.
