Electrofusion Fittings: The Pinnacle of PE Pipe Joint Technology
Electrofusion Fittings are a game-changer for polyethylene pipe installations. By fusing the fitting and pipe together, they create incredibly strong, leak-proof joints. This advanced technology benefits plumbers and contractors in numerous industries, from residential to industrial.
Why Choose Electrofusion Fittings?
Upgrade your piping projects with Electrofusion Fittings and experience the difference.
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.

As with welding carried out on any material used for engineering purposes, fusion welding of polyethylene (PE) 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).
