Electrofusion
Integrity Fusion Products has been known for their impressive product line of Electrofusion fittings since their start in 2007. Now, the IntegriFuse Electrofusion line continues to grow to include even more innovative products than ever before!
Integrity Fusion Products offers a full link of IntegriFuse injection molded, small diameter (1″-12″), and large diameter (14″-63″) IPS and DIPS Electrofusion Couplers that are manufactured in a variety of nominal pipe sizes and SDR’s. All IntegriFuse Injection Molded Electrofusion Couplers, Branch Saddles, Tradition Saddles, and Flex Restraints are manufactured and tested to the requirements of ASTM F1055, ASTM D2513, ASTM D3261, ANSI/AWWA C901 and C906, and are FM tested and approved for use with outside diameter-controlled pipe and fittings conforming to ASTM D2513, ASTM D3035, and ASTM F-714. IntegriFise Injected Molded Electrofusion Fittings can be fused to any manufacturer’s PE pipe, molded fittings, or fabricated fittings manufactured from material made from PE3408/PE4710/PE100 resin that complies to ASTM D33350.
Electrofusion is “a heat fusion joining process where the heat source an integral part of the fitting, such that when an electrical current is applied, heat is produced that melts and joins the plastic.” – ASTM F1290-90
NOTE: Integrity Fusion Products requires that all individuals installing electrofusion fittings in permanent field applications should be done only by individuals who have a strong working knowledge of polyethylene and heat fusion methods, that have been properly trained, qualified, and hold a current training certificate issued from a recognized electrofusion fitting manufacturers authorized instructor, and that have demonstrated their understanding of these requirements by correctly preparing electrofusion test assemblies that have been qualified by recognized ASTM destructive testing. Other stipulations and regulations may apply, depending on fitting size, application, local codes, and/or jurisdictional oversight of other state and local regulating agencies.

Electrofusion Flex Restraint
Fits on 6″ to 63″ pipe OD’s
Works on SDR 7, 9, 11, and 21 pipe
IMPORTANT NOTE:
-
A design engineer must calculate the amount of thrust force that will result from expansion & contraction to decide the proper
quantity of Flex Restraints needed for each application.
-
Flex Restraints must be equally spaced and equally sectored on the surface of the pipe.
-
Flex Restraints require a straight-line orientation around the circumference of the pipe.
