Poly electrofusion fittings engineered to give you confidence
Leveraging PE Electrofusion Fittings in conjunction with polyethylene pipes opens up the possibility of establishing impeccably sealed PE pipe networks.
Top-notch Electrofusion Fittings empower plumbers and contractors in diverse industries to craft fusion-welded joints that deliver unparalleled reliability, flexibility, and exceptional performance. Experience the benefits of this cutting-edge technology today!
Acu-Tech’s electrofusion pipe fitting system offers high performance and ease of installation.
Using the electrofusion technique, polyethylene pipes are conveniently joined, minimising welding and cooling time.
In each EF poly pipe fitting, the wires’ energising coils of the electro fitting are precisely positioned ensuring uniform melting for a strong joint.
Our extensive range of PE electrofusion pipe fittings include:
We also carry tools, accessories and equipment for electrofusion welding.

Training for Plumbers – Electrofusion Jointing for HDPE pressure and drainage pipes
As with welding carried out on any material used for engineering purposes, fusion welding of polyethylene (HDPE) for plumbing and drainage pipe systems is a skilled operation which must be carried out by suitably trained and certified tradespersons.
Training and accreditation is mandatory for plumbers under the Plumbing Code of Australia (PCA) as both AS/NZS 3500.1 Plumbing and drainage – Water services and AS/NZS 3500.2 Plumbing and drainage – Sanitary plumbing and drainage contain references to AS/NZS 2033 Installation of polyethylene pipe systems. AS/NZS 2033 Clause 4.2 Fusion Jointing specifies “Only trained and certified operators shall carry out fusion jointing”.
Acu-Tech facilitates Nationally Accredited training courses covering fusion welding procedures through Polyweld Tech Academy which is a Registered Training Organisation (RTO).The following is a list of the minimum equipment that should be available at each electrofusion welding site.Suggested List of Equipment for Electrofusion Welding:
- Diameter tape (i.e. Pi tape/pie tape) – to measure average diameter in the weld zone.
- Metal Ruler – to measure insertion depth.
- Caliper or metal rule to measure Pipe ovality.
- Pipe cutting tools – appropriate pipe cutting device to ensure pipe squareness.
- Rotational Peeling tool – Capable of removing a continuous minimum of 0.2 mm of material per pass.
- De-burring tool – tool to remove sharp edge of pipe.
- Re-rounding clamps – clamps must ensure area in weld zone remains within roundness specification during the weld.
- Alcohol cleaning wipes – EF fitting manufacturer approved cleaning wipes for final surface cleaning.
- White ink permanent marker for witness marks & weld details.
- Alignment clamps – clamps must be able to align the pipe and fitting to ensure there are no bending stresses on the assembly during the welding process.
- Power supply (generator calibrated and rated as per fitting supplier specification).
- Electrofusion control unit in accordance with ISO 12176-2.
- Environment protection enclosures (e.g. tent or shade apparatus for protection against direct sunlight exposure and adverse weather conditions).
