    Electrofusion fittings are used to join polyethylene pipes and are made of HDPE resin. They come in various sizes and configurations like couplers, tees, elbows, and caps. The document provides details on the fitting features, applications, installation instructions, testing requirements, storage guidelines, and specifications. Electrofusion fittings can be used for natural gas, water, and chemical lines and are rated to withstand various pressures depending on the size, resin, and operating temperature. They are installed by heating the fitting and joining it to the pipe via an electrofusion process.
