HDPE Coupler

HDPE Coupler is a connection method used to connect HDPE pipes. This connection method combines the advantages of socket connection and hot-melt connection. It heats the pipe port to a molten state, then heats the pipe insertion end and the socket end to soften and quickly inserts them. After cooling, a firm connection can be achieved. This connection method not only has the convenience of socket connection, but also has the firmness and good sealing of hot-melt connection.

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 fitting simultaneously to a melt 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 form a connection stronger than its individual parts.

HDPE Coupler Function

The function of HDPE Coupler is mainly reflected in its connection method. This connection method is mainly used for small-diameter PE water supply pipes, especially the construction of tap water supply PE pipes. The design of socket-type PE pipe fittings enables them to be hot-melt connected with PE pipes. Specifically, the diameter of the socket-type PE pipe fittings is slightly larger than that of the PE pipe. After the PE socket-type pipe fittings and the PE pipe are hot-melted, the PE pipe is inserted into the PE pipe to complete the hot-melt connection.

Features

The characteristics of this socket-type hot-melt connection include convenient and fast connection, good joint quality and little interference from external factors. By adding a sleeve to the socket part, the insertion end and the socket end of the pipe are heated and softened respectively, and then quickly inserted, and a very strong connection can be achieved after cooling.
