PE100 SDR11 Electrofusion Saddle d63-400mm PN16

  Data Sheet |   Product Range | Instructional Video

The PE100 SDR11 electrofusion saddle from the Georg Fischer ELGEF Plus system delivers high-integrity branch connections on high-density polyethylene pipelines. Engineered specifically for demanding utility networks and industrial process piping, this electrofusion saddle is rated for operating pressures up to 16 bar in water infrastructure and 10 bar in combustible gas distribution lines. Manufactured exclusively from certified virgin PE100+ raw materials, it provides exceptional resistance to rapid crack propagation, mechanical stress, chemical aggressiveness, and long-term environmental degradation.

Featuring precision-engineered embedded heating coils, the fitting ensures uniform thermal distribution across the entire fusion zone during the welding cycle. This thermal optimization establishes a fully homogeneous, molecularly fused joint between the saddle base and the carrier pipe. Integrated 4 mm connector pins enable seamless interfacing with standard automatic electrofusion control units, while visual fusion indicators provide definitive on-site confirmation of complete joint execution. Complete barcode labeling supports digital Track & Trace quality management on utility job sites.

The modular ELGEF Plus design accommodates main pipe dimensions from d63 mm up to d400 mm, offering unmatched flexibility for new pipeline installation, retrofitting, and live branch connections without requiring extensive pipe clearance. Designed for a minimum operating lifespan of 100 years in buried utility networks, this PE100 SDR11 saddle fully complies with EN 12201-3 for drinking water systems and EN 1555-3 for natural gas distribution networks.
