- Shaking and settling of the ground

- Very tight deadlines for projects to be completed

The 50MM ElectroFusion HDPE coupling is an answer to these obstacles by:

- Providing a connection that is permanent and leak-proof

- Ensuring the fusion is done with equal mechanical strength

- Reducing the likelihood of joint failure to a minimum during extreme conditions

- Making the installation fast and reliable

- Complying with both local and international standards

Because of its reliability, it is suggested for use in the telecommunications, electrical, irrigation, water supply, gas, and industrial networks in the Gulf region.
