2 Page 2 Couplers for Large Diameter Pipes Couplers PN10 and PN16 Why use Large Diameter ElectroFusion Couplers Narrow trenches and hard to reach locations are ideal for electrofusion. These locations are often inaccessible to butt fusion machines due to limited space or difficult to move pipe. This user friendly technology takes the art out of PE welding, and may be used to join pipe ends or fabricated fittings. Why use Plasson s Large Couplers Because Plasson means quality, reliability, and global presence! With world-class customer service, Plasson offers unmatched supply chain support and technical service. These couplers are the result of 40 years of innovation-driven growth in plastic pipe jointing technology. Features Exclusive covered-wire technology Patented wire-laying technology High purity resistance wire with a positive temperature ceofficient Two separate heating circuits Stringent control of inner diameter Unique thickness profile Innovative insulating fabric straps No Preheating Necessary Benefits Robustness and user-friendly installation in the field. Optimum heat transfer by means of precise wire positioning. Self-regulating electrical current in winter and in summer. For welding each side independently. Balances easy pipe insertion with trouble free welding. Strengthens the stress-bearing regions. Accelerate fusion pressure buildup and minimize fusion time All these innnovations add up to ensure a successful void-free weld in the shortest possible time.

Plasson can also supply controllers and tooling that simplifies the process of scraping, re-rounding, clamping and welding large bore joints (see page 7). We advise the selection of fusion equipment that will cope with the electrical requirements of these fittings. All generators must be equipped with an Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) and must exceed the controller power demand which is dependent on the controller type. *NOTE: 800mm fittings require 42V input for correct welding. 40V input required for fittings 450mm-710mm.

4 Page 4 Saddles for Large Diameter Pipes Saddles PN16 - multi-size Plasson Saddles are designed according to the specific needs of the end users, keeping in mind the field conditions and limitations, ensuring a simple installation which will be safe and secure. The multi-size saddles have a large fusion zone which exceeds the requirements of the various international standards resulting in considerably greater robustness and reliability of the fusion joint. Plasson s innovative clamping tool is designed in a way that guarantees the complete saddle welding surface is in direct contact with the pipe even when the pipe is oval. Full bore outlet SDR11-90, 110, 125 and 160mm Universal - two saddles cover the complete range of pipes from 250 to 800mm, with two options, spigot or flanged (NP10/16). Features Large Fusion Area Embedded heated coil SmartFuse system Special test port Dedicated clamping tool Benefits High resistance to hydraulic forces Strong and uniform welding performance Long term joint integrity No need for preheating process Eliminates the risk of physical damage to the wire Coils protected from corrosion build-up during storage Instant heat transfer between coil and PE Ensures fast and easy welding process Full traceability of fitting and components to ensure quality control Enables pressure test of weld before cutting into the pipe Guarantees the complete saddle welding surface is in direct contact with the pipe even when the pipe is oval Technical Information Fittings material: PE100 Suitable pipes: PE80, PE100, PEX-A PN16 saddles suitable for pipe wall thickness: 250mm-400mm SDR 7 to mm-800mm SDR 7 to 26 May be welded at ambient temperatures: -10 C to +45 C Electrofusion parameters obtained from barcode or input manually Plasson s internal standards are based upon EN 1555, EN 12201, AFNOR NFT , AS/NZS 4129
