ecoFIT Hose Connector PE100, SDR17, PN10, d20-d63

  Datasheet (PDF) |   Product Range | Instructional Video

The Georg Fischer ecoFIT hose connector in PE100 is an industrial transition fitting engineered to interface rigid polyethylene piping networks directly with flexible hose assemblies. Designed for socket fusion jointing in SDR17 geometry, this metric connector provides a robust transition in pressure ratings up to 10 bar at 20 degrees C across outside diameters d20 to d63 (DN15 to DN50).

Technical specifications

This ecoFIT adapter component combines a standardized spigot end for socket fusion with an integrated parallel hose nozzle designed to retain flexible industrial tubing securely. Manufactured in accordance with DIN 8074/75 dimensional requirements, it ensures seamless integration with compatible ecoFIT polyethylene piping components.

Materials and standards

The component is produced entirely from high-grade PE100 resin, delivering high resistance to impact, stress cracking, and a wide array of industrial chemicals. The homogeneous PE100 material matrix prevents internal scaling, maintains smooth hydraulic flow characteristics, and resists abrasive media wear throughout its operating service life.

Conforming to DIN 8074/75 specifications, the fitting maintains exact tolerances on both the socket fusion spigot diameter and the serrated hose shank. The material properties fully align with the ecoFIT system standards, ensuring total chemical and thermal compatibility across the entire industrial installation.

Installation and jointing

Jointing to the main PE pipeline is executed via standard socket fusion tools using clean, calibrated heating bushes and spigots. The pipe and fitting socket surfaces must be peeled, cleaned with an approved cleaner, and heated according to DVS welding guidelines for PE100 materials to guarantee a void-free, cohesive bond.

Flexible hoses are pushed over the parallel ribbed connector end and secured externally with appropriate industrial hose clamps. Proper alignment must be verified prior to tightening clamps to eliminate mechanical bending moments and tensile loads on the socket fusion joint during routine system operation.
