Victaulic Introduces Coupling System for HDPE Pipe
New couplings and fittings eliminate the need for fusion
EASTON, Pa. — Victaulic, a manufacturer of mechanical pipe-joining systems, has announced the launch of its Refuse-to-Fuse™ system for high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe. Featuring a range of couplings and fittings, the company says the system offers installation up to 10 times faster than fusing while meeting or exceeding the performance capabilities of traditional fused joints.
For decades, HDPE installers have primarily relied on heat fusion to join HDPE pipe. Heat fusion can be a time consuming process that requires specialized equipment and needs setup to accommodate challenging weather or terrain. It also lacks flexibility for maintenance and repair of pipes and joints.
