PP PE Pipe Fittings

PE Pipe Fittings and Their Properties

• impact and crack resistant
  PE pipe fittings are made of high-quality polypropylene, or PP for short. It brings out the best properties in the practical plastic parts: they are extremely impact and crack resistant and therefore very durable. Even after long periods of use, PE pipe fittings made of PP show little or no signs of wear.
• many different models
  In the Online-Shop you'll find a suitable PE pipe fitting for every application and every laying pattern. Whether a T-piece for three fittings, a 90-degree elbow, or a simple straight coupling: you can easily design the path of the pipeline you need. We also offer you different variants of the shut-off valve. To ensure that everything fits in the end, you choose not only the model but also the right size of the PE pipe fittings. It is important to adapt them optimally to the circumference of the hose to be connected.
• Suitable for the drinking water sector
  Both the and the PE pipe fittings meet the common standards for thermoplastic pipe systems and tensile mechanical connections. In addition, they carry the quality mark of the DVGW, the German Association for Gas and Water, and are therefore excellent for use as drinking water pipes.
• high tightness
  PE pipe fittings consist of the housing, a sealing O-ring, an insert part, an locknut, and the clamping cone in which the line is fixed. All these parts fit perfectly together and ensure that the connection between two hoses or pipe and water connection remains tight and reliable for a long time.
• acid-resistant
  The combination of PE pipe and fittings can also be used as a sewage pipe. It is important that the material is resistant to acid and not prone to incrustation, i.e., the clogging of the water pipe.
• usable in a wide temperature range
  PE pipe fittings have an extremely high temperature tolerance. They can be used without any problem from 0 to 80° C. They can even withstand heat of up to 110° C for short periods. It is important that you lay the pipes with the fittings in the ground and cover them with a sufficient layer of frost protection material or keep them warm in winter. At sub-zero temperatures, there is a risk that the plastic will become brittle over time.

Application Examples

Polyethylene pipes can be used in a variety of ways and can be extended almost infinitely with practical PE pipe fittings! Whether you need to lay a drinking water supply or a sewage pipe, or need a flexible hose to water the plants in your garden. T-format fittings are particularly useful if you want to split the hose so that it runs in two different directions on your property. This gives you the chance to supply two water connections that are far apart from the same well. As an alternative to the polypropylene variants, or PVC fittings are also available.

How to Install PE Pipe Fittings

Did you purchase the right PE pipes and fittings from Online-Shop? Then it's time to connect the individual pieces! Have all the planned components ready. For a better overview, we recommend that you arrange the lines as they will be laid later. This is especially worthwhile when installing a water pipe in the garden.

1. Start with the first pipe. Ideally, it is the one that is directly connected to the well or the house connection. Cut the side that is to be fitted at an angle and debur the end.
2. Loosen the locknut on the PE pipe fitting. Don't part with the housing! Check that both the sealing ring and the clamping ring remain in place.
3. Now push the pipe into the cone. Make sure it slides in far enough to go over the seal.
4. Does the pipe fit perfectly? First, tighten the locknut by hand and then use a band or chain wrench to fasten it.
5. Proceed in the same way with the other fittings.
