When a pipe run changes size, the transition needs to be as strong as the pipe on either side. Electrofusion fuses the coupler to the pipe, using heat from wires built into the coupler, so the joint becomes part of the pipe, not a mechanical seal that can work loose.
This 32mm x 63mm universal electrofusion reducing coupler joins 32mm MDPE pipe to 63mm MDPE pipe in a single joint, so you don’t need a separate reducer. 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 states a service life of over 100 years when installed correctly.
Radius’s electrofusion couplers 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.
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 run changes from 32mm to 63mm, one reducing coupler does it in a single fused joint that’s as strong as the pipe. The PE100 fitting doesn’t corrode, the same coupler works for gas and water pipe, and the barcode sets the right fusion time for you, with full traceability.
