ELECTRO-FUSION UNITS AND FITTINGS
HDPE MANHOLES AND SPECIALTY FITTINGS

There is not substitute in polyethylene pipe joining, for a correctly made fusion joint.  Correctly made, polyethylene pipe joints are equally as strong as the pipe itself and have the same 50-year design life as the pipe itself.  Pipe and fusion joints both have a 2 to 1 safety factor.  The quality of the fusion joint depends on the fusion unit condition and the training and expertise of the installer.

FUSION SUPPORT SERVICES offers fusion units that are in well-maintained working order.  Each fusion unit is properly serviced and completely checked before it is released to a customer for rental.  When each unit is returned, it is completely checked and serviced.

FUSION SUPPORT SERVICES offers certified fusion technicians to either join the pipe for the project or to professionally train your personnel.

Are your installers correctly trained in the proper techniques of HDPE pipe fusion joining?  Projects where the pipe is incorrectly joined or installed can fail and cause large unnecessary expenses, and the legal liability incurred for damages resulting from incorrectly made fusion joints.  Should any joints fail, would your company have records that document the joining procedures used were in accordance to ASTM Standards and those recommended by the polyethylene pipe manufacturer?

FUSION SUPPORT SERVICES has certified fusion technicians that have a minimum of 5 years of experience joining HDPE pipe.

Let this experience work for you.  Train and certify your fusion personnel or have a certified fusion technician from FUSION SUPPORT SERVICES join your HDPE pipe.  Engineering inspectors should also be qualified to ensure the polyethylene pipe is being joined to the proper parameters and ASTM standards.

FUSION SUPPORT SERVICES offers extrusion welding of field fabrications and profile wall, PE 3408 HDPE pipe.

HDPE Manholes are fabricated using a large portable extruder that uses polyethylene pellets instead of HDPE welding rods.  This unit extrudes 22 pounds per hour as compared to an extrusion gun, which extrudes only 4 to 6 pounds per hour.  This unit enhances the quality of the extrusion weld with larger, more solid welds to ensure leak-free performance.  Send FUSION SUPPORT SERVICES your plans for HDPE manholes, sumps, wet wells and other HDPE structures for a competitive quotation on high quality fabrications.
