Electric Socket Welding

The most common method for connecting PPR pipes and fittings is the “socket thermo-fusion welding”. Socket welding process is possible for the following diameters: 20 up to 160.The joint is made by simultaneously melting male and female surfaces by means of special manual or automatic heating device (Welder). It is important to know that the welding process does not affect at all the chemical resistance rate of joints and preserves the internal pressure requirements of pipes.

The melting temperature for socket welding must be between 250°C and 270 °C.
