Fitting bends are used as additional insulation for medium pipe bends welded in at the building site
by the pipelayer. Fitting bends are made from non-shrinking HDPE pipe. Shrink-on collars are used
to seal the pipe on the face side.
The
fitting bend comprises:
• Segment bend made from PE sleeve pipe
• Shrink-on collars
Fitting bends are made to measure depending on the bend design (radius, angle, length).
The following details are therefore required when placing an order:
• Nominal diameter of the medium pipe
• Nominal diameter of the PE casing
• Bend design or radius
• Angle of the fitting bend
Compliance with the minimum lengths defined in the following table is required if a prefabricated
welded bend as per EN 10253/2 is
fitted between the adjacent free pipe rod ends.
