Introduction
PE fittings for PE100 pipe unions (3rd generation PE) Any PE pipeline design for fluid conduction and distribution is possible by choosing the appropriate combination of accessories. Unions: - Electrofusion. Quick and easy welding technique for non-detachable unions. This union is obtained by means of resistances located inside the fittings.
- Butt welding. The pipes and/or the fittings are aligned under pressure onto a heating element, then, the parts are joined under pressure after the heating plate has been removed.

Introduction: PE pipes
The use of PE pipes is very spread, because of the many advantages they present, some of which we could emphasize: - Lightness - Flexibility - High impact and corrosion resistance - Long lasting life - Due to less frictional resistance, less pressure losses. - Freeze and radiation resistant - Weathering resistance In addition to these properties, the PE100 is the higher density and higher resistance polyethylene available, which makes it ideal for more demanding applications.

Cost: electrowelding machines and tools and electroweldable fittings are expensive The welding process requires following precise procedures High expansion coefficient Non-detachable unions

6. Fusion: Provided that the information given in the operating instructions are followed step by step and there is no problem, the fusion process can be started after data of the coupler is set to the fusion control unit by manually or by means of bar-code reader. (Fig. 7)

Installation
Butt welding: the manufacturer will provide to the customer a table with the pressure and temperatures required to weld different diameters; this data is introduced in the welding machine, and the welding is then done semi-automatically (but requires human presence to ensure a correct finishing).

Electrofusion
Butt welding
Welding done almost automatically The thickness increases with the weld: no strength loss. Keeps the pressure in the pipe constant.
Needs great ability to ensure good welding. The union weakens as the thickness diminishes during the welding process. The systems pressure is 20% reduced when butt welding used; so, to maintain PN 10, SDR11 has to be used (which is more expensive and cannot be used for PN 16) . Interior pipe diameter diminishes.
The diameter of the pipe increases with the diameter of the fittings, interior diameter stays the same.

Electrofusion
Butt welding
More economical fusion-welding machine but need to add couplers in each union (more expensive with a lot of system unions). Machinery suitable for all diameters. Process used on small diameters. Large diameters do exist but are very expensive. Higher fusion speed.
Welding machine is very expensive (would be profitable only if used often). Straight union (pipe-pipe union) does not need fitting. Heavy machinery and different for large and small diameters. This method is used overall for large diameters where electrofusion cannot be used. Under D.90, pipe walls are to thin and make the whole butt welding process difficult. Longer welding time.
