Coupler / Socket Fusion Fittings

Socket Fusion Fittings is an industry reference for high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic fittings used to permanently join two or more segments of HDPE plastic pipe through a process known as heat fusion or socket fusion welding. This method of joining pipe and fitting involves a heater tool that evenly warms the plastic pipe and fits simultaneously to a melting point where the two can be joined by insertion of the melted pipe into the socket of the melted fitting. Once inserted properly and allowed to cool, the two parts become one continuous bond of HDPE plastic that cannot be separated and forms a connection stronger than its individual parts.

Advantages of Socket Fusion Fittings

The advantages of Socket Fusion Fittings mainly include ease of construction, good sealing, high resistance to pull-outs, a wide range of applications, and good economy.

Socket Fusion Fittings is a widely used connection in pipeline engineering, which combines the advantages of socket connection and welded connection and has the following significant advantages.

1. Simple construction: socket fusion connection does not require special tools and skills, is easy and fast to operate, can greatly shorten the construction cycle, and improves construction efficiency.

2. Good sealing: the joints of socket fusion welding have good sealing performance, which can effectively prevent leakage and loosening, and ensure the safety and stability of the pipeline.

3. Strong tensile strength: socket fusion joints have good tensile strength, can withstand large external forces, suitable for occasions that need to withstand large external forces.

4. Wide range of applications: socket fusion connection is suitable for various types of pipe connection, including straight line, turning, branching, etc., to meet the needs of different occasions of pipe connection.

5. Good economy: socket fusion joints connect the joints at relatively low prices, can reduce the cost of pipeline projects, has a certain economy.
