The Georg Fischer ELGEF Plus 45-degree electrofusion elbow is an engineered polyethylene fitting designed for high-integrity directional changes in pressure piping networks. Manufactured from 100% virgin PE100 resin, this SDR11 fitting operates reliably at nominal pressures up to 16 bar for water and liquid media or 10 bar for natural gas distribution. As an authorised Georg Fischer distributor, BigWeld supplies this fitting for utility water mains, gas distribution, industrial process piping, and water treatment systems where long-term joint integrity and corrosion resistance are vital.

Engineered for reliable on-site electrofusion welding, the ELGEF Plus 45-degree elbow features precision-embedded heating wire coils and standardized 4 mm electrical terminal pins that facilitate uniform heat distribution during the fusion cycle. Fittings in dimensions from d32 mm to d63 mm incorporate integral pipe fixation mechanisms that stabilize pipe ends without external clamping, while larger diameters (d200 mm to d250 mm) utilize two separate fusion zones for optimal energy transfer. Visual fusion indicators provide immediate, non-destructive quality verification on-site, ensuring standard-compliant joint creation according to DVS 2207 welding guidelines.

Constructed to meet EN 12201, EN 1555, and EN ISO 15494 standards, this PE100 component offers superior resistance to chemical attack, environmental stress cracking, and UV exposure. The smooth internal bore minimizes friction losses and prevents scaling over an estimated design lifetime of up to 100 years in utility operations. The fitting is certified by international bodies including DVGW, SVGW, KIWA, and ACS, ensuring suitability for drinking water and gas utilities. Available across nominal diameters from d32 mm to d250 mm, the ELGEF Plus elbow guarantees leak-free operation in buried infrastructure and industrial fluid handling.
