Electrofusion Transition Adapter PE100 to Brass Male Thread SDR11

  Datasheet (PDF) |   Product Range | Instructional Video

The Georg Fischer ELGEF Plus PE to brass male transition adapter provides a permanent, high-integrity joint between PE100 polyethylene distribution pipes and threaded metallic equipment. Designed for SDR11 utility networks, this factory-assembled electrofusion fitting is pressure rated for up to 16 bar in water supply and 10 bar in combustible gas systems across diameters from d20 to d63 mm with male threads from 1/2" to 2".

Applications

This transition fitting serves as the primary connection point where underground polyethylene pipelines interface with rigid metal components and mechanical equipment. It is engineered for potable water distribution, natural gas networks, industrial utility lines, and irrigation mains.

Common field installations include transitions to metal isolation ball valves, service risers, water meters, pumping skids, and manifold assemblies. The factory-engineered joint assembly transfers pipe stresses and tightening torques safely without placing torsional or bending strain on the welded polyethylene socket or the transition boundary.

Technical specifications

Engineered according to rigorous European utility standards, the ELGEF Plus transition adapter combines premium PE100 resin with corrosion-resistant brass to guarantee leak-tight operational integrity.

• Nominal pressure rating: 16 bar for water applications and 10 bar for gas distribution
• Dimensional SDR rating: SDR11 compatibility across diameters d20 mm to d63 mm
• Thread configuration: Factory-assembled male thread from 1/2" to 2"
• Welding system: 4 mm connector pins with limited-path fusion indicators
• Pipe restraint: Integrated pipe fixation mechanism eliminating external clamps during welding
• Standard compliance: Certified to EN 12201 for water networks and EN 1555 for gas infrastructure

Installation and jointing

Jointing is carried out using standard electrofusion control units compatible with 4 mm terminal pins and modern barcode recognition. The integrated pipe fixation securely grips the inserted pipe ends, keeping the joint completely aligned without requiring separate clamping tools during the welding and cooling periods.

Each fitting features limited-path fusion indicators that provide clear visual confirmation once electrofusion energy input is complete. Full component traceability is supported via the embedded Track & Trace barcode system.
