Branching a buried gas main means a joint with three connections, and each one has to be as strong as the pipe. Electrofusion fuses the tee to the pipe using heat from wires built into the fitting, so each joint becomes part of the pipe, not a mechanical seal that can work loose.
This 63mm yellow electrofusion equal tee joins three lengths of 63mm MDPE (PE80) gas pipe, for branching or connecting gas pipework. It’s made in yellow PE80 for use with PE80 gas pipe, and is manufactured to the requirements of GIS/PL2-4 (formerly B.G. Transco Technical Standard PL2 Part 4). Each fitting is supplied in an individual sealed bag to protect the jointing surfaces from contamination before welding.
Keep the jointing surfaces clean until fusion. Electrofusion needs a compatible electrofusion control unit, correct pipe preparation and a trained installer, and the maximum operating pressure depends on the pipe and the fitting, so always check the fitting’s packaging label. Gas work must be carried out by a suitably qualified, registered gas installer in accordance with the relevant standards.
When a gas main needs a branch, a fused tee makes each of the three joints as strong as the pipe. It’s made in PE80 to match PE80 gas pipe, comes sealed in its own bag to keep the jointing surfaces clean, and is made to the gas fittings standard.
