Electrofusion Reducers

Engineered for durability, built to last – Strongbridge offers high-density polyethylene (HDPE) electrofusion reducers with the largest pressure class and size range available. Our reducer fittings are engineered for extreme durability and manufactured using HDPE PE4710 / PE100 virgin resin, your best choice for a leak-free system.

Our industrial grade heavy-duty reducers are fully pressure rated for superior performance. They’re ideal for connecting pipes that carry water, fluids, and slurries, as they’re lightweight, easy to install, and resistant to chemicals, impacts, corrosion, and abrasion.

An HDPE electrofusion reducer fitting connects two different diameter pipelines by reducing the pipe size from a larger to a smaller inner diameter. After our reducer coupling is secured onto the existing HDPE pipe and connected to a Strongbridge electrofusion processor, the outer barcode (a 24-digit code that contains information about the fitting and the fusion parameter processor to ensure a high-quality fusion) is scanned, an electric current is applied to the integrated electrofusion wire coil which melts the PE4710/100 virgin resin materials and fuses them to the existing pipe.

Once cooled, the reducer creates a reliable, sealed connection to facilitate pipeline expansion or modification.

Engineered for PE3408, PE4710, PE100 HDPE Pipe Systems.

TEGA electrofusion fittings may be fused at ambient temperatures of between 0°C (+32°F) and +45°C (+115°F). If job site conditions are such that the pipe and fitting temperature is below this range, the installer should use a tent and heater to warm the pipe and electrofusion fitting to within the allowable temperature range. Special care should be taken to provide a balanced temperature level of both pipes and fittings before fitment and fusion operation.
