In the installation and installation of pipes there is always a very important process, this process is called the connection process, when it comes to the pipe installation and installation process sometimes in a condition where we have to do the connection, these conditions can be in the form of pipe installation, pipe installation location, high / low pipe installation, or other things that require connection, it is not possible to just install a straight pipe without any connection, the connection process on the pipes there are various connection methods and HDPE pipe connection has 3 alternative connection systems or 3 methods HDPE pipe splicing, the following 3 HDPE pipe splicing methods.

1.       Connecting HDPE Pipes with Mechanical Joint, Segmented and Injection Methods

Recommended for connection of diameter 20mm to 63 mm in diameter, this connection can be done simply, but a few parts, if a little wrong, can have fatal impacts with damage to the piping network, especially in the connection, this method is practically only supported by the use of fittings, types of fittings for mechanical joint or can be called a very diverse compression joint accessories, so we can make a variety of piping lines as desired, Mechanical Joint Fittings are made of Poly Propilene, different from butt fusion splicing systems that use the same material, HDPE. Poly Propilene has a special character, with a strong enough resistance to heat and not easily damaged.

2.       Splicing HDPE Pipes with the Heat Fusion / Butt Fusion Method

Recommended for connection diameter ≥ 63 mm, the Heat Fusion / Butt Fusion connection system basically uses the principle of melting the pipe surface by using an electric heater and a temperature controller. After heating reaches the melting point, the two pipe surfaces are found and a connection occurs. Butt Fusion splicing involves heating together at both ends of the pipe to be joined until the melting conditions.

3.       Splicing HDPE Pipes with the Electro Fusion Method

Recommended for connecting to difficult areas and repairing installations / repairing diameters from 20 mm to 400 mm in diameter, how to connect HDPE pipes / electrofusion fittings by using an electrofusion machine. HDPE pipe joints that use electrofusion fittings have 2x stronger strength compared to the strength of the pipe. This is due to the electrofusion fitting wrapping the connected part, so the thickness of the connected part becomes thicker than the other parts. Splicing system with electro fusion socket that has been equipped with a built-in heating element. The electrical fusion socket is connected by an automatic fusion device.
