Socket Fusion Reducing Coupler

A: HDPE socket fusion is a welding process that joins HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) pipe and fittings. It involves heating the ends of the pipe and the fitting, then pushing them together to create a strong, leak-proof joint. This method is commonly used in water supply and drainage systems.

A: HDPE socket fusion reducer couplings provide several benefits, including strong and durable joints, corrosion resistance, and installation flexibility. They also offer a seamless transition between different pipe sizes, which is essential in various applications such as irrigation and drainage.

A: There are various types of fittings available for socket fusion, including elbow, cap, union, flange, and reducer couplings. Each type serves a specific purpose in pipeline systems, allowing for efficient connections and transitions between pipes.

A: Socket fusion can be used for water and gas applications. It is commonly utilized in systems that require high-quality HDPE socket fittings to ensure leak-proof connections, making it suitable for freshwater supply and gas pipelines.

A: SDR11 refers to the Standard Dimension Ratio, which indicates the pipe’s wall thickness relative to its diameter. In HDPE fittings, SDR11 is crucial for determining the pressure rating and ensuring that the fittings can handle the required pressures in applications such as irrigation and drainage.

A: Electrofusion is another method of joining HDPE pipes and fittings, which involves using an electric current to heat and melt the material at the joint. This method is often used with socket fusion to provide high-quality connections in complex systems, especially in water supply and drainage applications.
