Branching a buried gas or water run 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 32mm universal electrofusion equal tee joins three lengths of 32mm MDPE pipe, for branching gas or water pipework. It’s made from PE100 polyethylene in black, with exposed-wire technology to maximise heat transfer, simultaneous socket fusion, and 4.0mm terminal pins. The fitting carries a barcode that gives automatic temperature-compensated fusion times and fitting traceability. Radius makes its fittings under ISO-accredited manufacturing and states a service life of over 100 years when installed correctly.
Radius’s electrofusion fittings are Kitemarked to BS EN 1555-3 and GIS/PL2:4 for gas, and to BS EN 12201-3 for water, and use WRAS-approved material. They are tested for use with PE80 and PE100 pipes in a wide range of SDRs, and the maximum operating pressure depends on the pipe and the fitting, so always check the fitting’s packaging label.
Keep the jointing surfaces clean until fusion. Electrofusion needs a compatible electrofusion control unit, correct pipe preparation and a trained installer. Gas work must be carried out by a suitably qualified, registered gas installer in accordance with the relevant standards.
When a gas or water run needs a branch, a fused tee makes each of the three joints as strong as the pipe. The PE100 fitting doesn’t corrode, the same tee works for gas and water pipe, and the barcode sets the right fusion time for you, with full traceability.
