Transition Adapter PE100/Stainless Steel Male Thread SDR11

  Data Sheet |   Product Range | Instructional Video

The Georg Fischer ELGEF Plus PE100 to stainless steel male thread transition adapter provides a permanent, leak-tight connection between polyethylene pipelines and metallic equipment, threaded valves, pumps, or instrumentation. Manufactured from fully compounded, virgin high-density polyethylene (PE100) and premium V2A stainless steel (grade 1.4305), this transition fitting delivers outstanding mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and long-term durability in demanding operating environments.

Engineered for utility and industrial distribution networks, the adapter is dimensioned for SDR11 systems and rated for a nominal pressure of 16 bar in potable water systems and 10 bar in combustible gas networks. The precision-machined male thread allows direct, rigid coupling to metal systems, while the PE100 spigot end ensures full compatibility with electrofusion couplers or butt fusion welding. The internal mechanical interlock prevents rotation and axial disengagement under pressure surges, ground settling, or thermal fluctuations.

Key technical features and operational benefits include:

• Robust Material Composition: Virgin PE100 compound paired with corrosion-resistant V2A (1.4305) stainless steel for an expected service life exceeding 50 years.
• Pressure Ratings: Certified for working pressures up to 16 bar (water) and 10 bar (natural gas) in compliance with EN 12201 and EN 1555 standards.
• Reliable Jointing: Suitable for electrofusion welding with ELGEF Plus couplers or butt fusion welding in accordance with DVS 2207 procedures.
• High Mechanical Integrity: Torsionally secure joint design resists dynamic loads, pipeline bending stresses, and external ground movements.
• Versatile Application: Ideal for water distribution, natural gas distribution, industrial process cooling, water treatment, and municipal infrastructure.

This transition fitting eliminates the risk of corrosion and galvanic degradation at the metal-plastic interface. As an authorised Georg Fischer distributor, BigWeld supplies authentic ELGEF Plus fittings engineered to the highest European utility standards.
