What are polyethylene fittings?

Polyethylene fittings are introduced as parts that are used in piping systems made of polyethylene (P.E) materials. polyethylene is a widely used plastic material known for its great durability flexibility and resistance top chemicals and corrosion. Polyethylene fittings are designed to connect sections polyethylene pipes to each other and allow the creation of continuous pipeline that can transport different liquids and gases. Various types of polyethylene fittings are available. Including Butt-fusion fittings, electrofusion fittings and chemical fittings, each of which has its own unique features and applications choosing the right type of connection depends on factors such as pipe diameter, application requirements and operating conditions. choosing the type of polyethylene fittings used for the polyethylene pipe used for agriculture is different from the polyethylene fittings used in polyethylene manhole.

What are the reasons for using polyethylene fittings in pipeline?

Now that we know what are the polyethylene fitting, in this section we are going to examine the reasons for using polyethylene fittings in pipelines.

Polyethylene fittings for changing pipeline

If you want   to change to angle of the pipe degree45 Degree 90 to the left at a certain point of the pipeline so that the pipe can continue its path in a proper way, you should use polyethylene fittings with 45 degree and 90 degrees if you have more than one branch of the pipe line, you can use 45 degree or 90 degree a three -ways fitting or belt.

Polyethylene fittings to connect the external part to the pipe

In many agricultural applications, there is need for external fittings to connect to pipes. For example if you intend to connect the valve of the polyethylene pipe, you can use conversions that they are made of polyethylene of polyethylene. However, it should be noted that the polyethylene cap alone is alone is also a type of polyethylene connection and you may not need an external connection.

Polyethylene fittings to change the diameter

To connect two pipes with different diameters to each other, you can use polyethylene connections such as conversions connecting two pipes. For example, if you have a pipe with a diameter of 4 inches or110 mm in your pipelines and you want to connect it to a pipe with a diameter of 6 inch from branch 5 onwards, you can used these polyethylene connections.

Types of polyethylene fittings

Now, in this section, we are going to introduce you to different types of polyethylene fittings.

Polyethylene screw connections

Polyethylene screw connections are used to connect irrigation pipes in agricultural land, without the need for welding and special electrofusion devices. Installation of polyethylene fittings are simple and they are very resistant to vibration and physical and chemical changes. Polyethylene fittings are not disposable and they can be use in several consecutive projects.

Type of polyethylene screw (threaded) connections

The types of polyethylene screw (threaded) connections are:

• Polyethylene bushening: a bushing is a piece that is included in polyethylene screw connection and that is used ad a container for passing a pipe or conductor through it. For points of the pipe with less resistance, polyethylene screw bushings are used.
• The head of polyethylene fitting: the heads are another polyethylene connection to buy a pipe head, it must be obtained from the factory where you buy the pipe; because the wall resistance of the pipes is different in different factories, and each factory must be produce its own polyethylene fittings.
• Gaskets or O-rings for polyethylene fittings: O-rings are type of polyethylene connections designed in the form of rings with different colors. These gaskets have two types, static and dynamic, and they are used to seal polyethylene fittings at the edges of pipes. O-ring is composed of two words O and ring meaning circular shapes.
• Split ring polyethylene fittings: split ring fittings are known as more advanced than type polyethylene fitting which are made of 90%steel materials. The use of this type of polyethylene fittings are very suitable for sealing pipes.

Applications of screw polyethylene fitting

Polyethylene screw fittings are one of the types of polyethylene fittings that are widely used in projects and water transmission lines, especially in agriculture and irrigation.  The size of the pipes used in the screw polyethylene fittings are in the range of 20 to 400 mm.

Welded polyethylene fittings

Welded polyethylene fittings are a type of polyethylene pipe coordinating equipment. These types of fittings are created using butt fusion devices and other welding devices. The way polyethylene fittings work is that first a branch of the pipe with a certain diameter is cut into the desired shape. Then the ends of this branch are connected with the end of another branch by heat and welding the edges. Some welded polyethylene fittings, such as tees, involve cutting and splicing a branch of polyethylene pipe into various shapes. The purpose of creating polyethylene fitting is to change the direction of the pipes and also to increase the number of branches of a polyethylene pipe. Welded polyethylene fittings are mostly used for gas supply and city gas projects. Keep in mind that the use of polyethylene connections are better done by experienced operators and with special caution to avoid fluid leakage inside the pipe. Welded polyethylene fittings are produced in two models of high pressure with tolerance of pressures of 6 to 10 atmospheres and weak pressure.

Type of welded polyethylene fittings

The type of polyethylene welding joints is:

Three-ways welded polyethylene fittings

are used to connect three pipes at different angles. Also, the we3loded polyethylene fittings are produced through plastic injection technology, but due to high production costs, they can also be made manually. of course, it goes without saying that factory production is more reliable than manual production. Polyethylene fittings are designed in two models, straight and angled at 45 degrees, and they were made of 80 and 100 grade materials. Grade 100 polyethylene fittings are denser an better quality and they are recommended for P.E 100 pipes. Of course, don’t be mistaken! Both grades can be used, but grade 100is far more appropriate.

Polyethylene fittings, converting polyethylene welding

Fusion polyethylene fittings are designed to connect two pipes with different diameters. polyethylene fittings can connect a smaller pipe and a larger pipe. Common types of polyethylene fusion fittings are fusion socket, high pressure tees. Welded steel fittings, high pressure reducers, and elbow fusion fittings.

90-degree elbow welding polyethylene fittings there is a type polyethylene

There is a type of polyethylene joints called 90 degree welding elbow, which is used to connect pipes with a 90 degree angle change. Types of fittings are connected by butt welding.

45-degree elbow welding polyethylene fittings

45-degree welding elbow is a type of polyethylene fittings that is used to change the 45degree angle of polyethylene pipes. This connected to two polyethylene pipes by butt welding.

polyethylene fittings, siphon conversion polyethylene

the production of polyethylene siphons for conveying building waste water is carries out under the name of ‘’uneven siphon polyethylene connections”. This conversion, although, it has given way to P.V.C and U.P.V.C pipes, still requires purchase, but not to the extent of other fittings.

Polyethylene fittings, long and short polyethylene pipes

By using short and long muffles as polyethylene connections, you can change the length of the pipe in accordance with the necessary standards and avoid the problem of changing the length when the pipe  expend or contract.

Polyethylene connections test cap
a polyethylene test cap is used to block the end of the pipeline. Of course, it is worth mentioning that sometimes these polyethylene connections are used to check the pipe.

Polyethylene connection visit cap

In some sewage pipelines, due to the entry of solid materials in to the sewage, the pipe gets clogged. By using polyethylene fittings such as inspection cap, you can inspect and test the inside of the pipe in case of such a problem, without the need to destroy the pipe, and make the necessary corrections if necessary.

What are injection polyethylene fittings

Injected polyethylene fittings are a type of coating for polyethylene pipes that use polyethylene materials and they are available in two grades, 80 and 100. This type of polyethylene fittings are produced using injection modeling technology, which means that the ingredients are poured in to ready-made molded and then manufactured in high volume. Polyethylene fittings are suitable for agricultural irrigation lines due to their average quality and affordable price, but they are not recommended for gas supply and water transfer projects in critical conditions.

Types of injection polyethylene fittings

`The types of injection polyethylene fittings are:

45-degree welded elbow: it is a piece made at a 45-gegree angle

Welded 90-degree three-ways: it is a piece that has three exists and it is produced at a 90-degree angle.

90-degree elbow: it is a piece produced at a 90-degree angle

Welding conversion: it is a functional piece that functional piece that connects the pipes together

Cap: it is a piece used to cover the ends of pipes.

Flange: it is a part that is used to connect two pipes or part together.

Belt: it is a piece to fasten the two edges of the pipe to each other

Double-walled elbow to three- walled and vice versa: it is piece in which three exist with a 90-degree double-walled elbows are changed to three exits with a 90-degree triple-walled elbows and vice versa.

Conversion double siphon: it is a part that is used to change the shape and flow of liquids in pipes.

Polyethylene fitting with electrofusion device:  there is a method of installing polyethylene fittings on polyethylene pipes, using electrofusion fittings, which is lees demanding than other methods. This type of polyethylene fittings is used for gas and water transmission lines. If the construction and installation of this type of polyethylene fittings are done correctly, its reliability factor is greater than equal to the pipe its self. To perform this method of polyethylene connections, first the part from which the branch is supposed to be removed is completely cleaned and then using voltage the anode cathode electrodes of the two edges of pipe are welded to each other.

Type of electrofusion polyethylene fittings

The types of electrofusion polyethylene fittings are:

Welded couplers: welded couplers are tools that are used to connect metals parts. These tools work manually or using welding machines.

Welding conversion: there are tools that use them to transform metals into different forms.

 Repair belts: there are tools that can be used to repair different part of the pipe.

Three-ways conversion: these are fittings that can be used to connect three pipe ends to each other.

Electrofusion elbow:  it is one of the types of elbow fittings that gives an arc to the pipe and changes its direction.

Coupling polyethylene fittings

Polyethylene couplings (P.E couplings) are category of connections that are used to connect two piece of pipes or to connect pipes to equipment. Polyethylene fittings are made using polyethylene and have two-part appearance. The most advanced type of P.E couplings have a thermal seam that provides a connection between two pieces of pipe with high heat.

Polyethylene polymer fittings

Polymer P.E fittings are among polyethylene fittings in plastic pipes that are used to connect polyethylene pipes. Polyethylene connections are made using polymer materials and they have types such as T, coupling, cap, etc. this category is widely used due to its flexibility and resistance to pressure and heat.

Guide to buying polyethylene fittings according to needs

Polyethylene fittings are used to connect plastic pipes to each other and they are used in many industries and applications, such as irrigation systems, gas network, heating systems, industrial facilities, etc. before buying polyethylene fittings, you should pay attention to the diameter and type of pipe used, because the polyethylene fittings used for polyethylene pipes maybe  different from the polyethylene fitting used for corrugate pipes; because each type of polyethylene pipe needs special polyethylene connections.
