- Fully matched with fittings and laboratory bench items
- Fully BBA approved
- Sizes 38mm to 152mm
Vulcathene enfusion fittings
Vulcathene enfusion fittings are ideal for where a permanent fusion welded joint is preferred such as where pipework is to be buried, run overhead in ceiling voids, or in less accessible locations such as drainage stacks. Vulcathene enfusion fittings incorporate moulded socket ends with an integral resistance wire in place. Jointing is completed by energising the resistance wire via a dedicated enfusion control unit.
- Fully matched black fittings with UV protection
- Fast and efficient method for creating permanent joints
- Multiple joints can be made simultaneously using link cables
- Variety of adaptors to connect in other systems
- Sizes 38mm to 152mm
Vulcathene mechanical fittings
Vulcathene mechanical fittings provide a simple and efficient method of jointing. Through a fast and straightforward process these mechanical fittings are fully demountable, providing an excellent level of flexibility during installation and operation. When a system change or maintenance is required, this allows removal and re-installation without affecting the fittings efficiency.
- Fully matched black fittings with UV protection
- Unique nut and tongued-olive jointing method
- Easy to install
- Fully demountable
- Variety of adaptors to connect in other systems
- Sizes 38mm to 102mm
