Jointing Technology

Jointing Technology

Whether for mains or distribution lines, service connections, fire fighting systems, irrigation or industrial applications, all pipes, fittings and valves must be savely and reliably joined together even when from different materials.

Compression fittings

Compression fittings form a dependable way of jointing, especially if poor climatic or wet conditions prevail, no electrical supply is available or if components from different materials are to be jointed together.

Georg Fischer WAGA with the MULTI/JOINT, offers a product which always provides either a pull-out resistant or flexible connection irrespective of the pipes being joined together.

Georg Fischer Alprene, because of its innovative technology, is amongst the world´s leading suppliers of PP compression joints. The POLY16 Plus and POLYFAST AZ ranges provide an ideal connection for all applications. The strength of the product lies in its flexibility.

A variety of inserts enable these products to be used in conjunction with pipes from PVC, PE-Xa and copper.

Georg Fischer Castings has an extensive range of metal compression fittings. PRIMOFIT fittings offer a robust way to connect all the plastic and metal pipes together which are used for water and gas distribution purposes.

Flange connections

Georg Fischer provides many different methods for installing hydrants and valves.

Whether working on plastic or metal pipes or wishing to use compression or heat fusion, DRAW-LOCK is the perfect system to enable metal flanged valves and hydrants to be tied-in.

Fusion jointing

Maximum safety - process controlled.

Butt fusion
Butt-fusion jointing is a safe, proven and cost-saving jointing method used mainly for large diameters. Georg Fischer Jointing Technology offer a comprehensive range of hydraulically operated machines predestined for raw site conditions.

Electrofusion
Georg Fischer Wavin can provide everything necessary required for reliable Electrofusion jointing. The strength of the ELGEF Plus system lies in its modular concept. Everything is designed to match and when completed is your safe connection. The unique product assortment makes us the world´s leading manufacturer of Electrofusion systems. The range includes couplers up to d500 mm, electrofusion fittings up to d250 mm, spigot fittings up to d500 mm, modular concept saddles, MSA control units to suit all requirements and tools for the Electrofusion preparation.

Outstanding solutions regarding all metal and plastic piping systems and especially for the all important and critical transition from plastic to metal pipes can be accomplished using our modular ELGEF Plus system, our POLY16 Plus transition fittings with metal threads as well as the PRIMOFIT range.

Double Containment Piping Systems

CONTAIN-IT Plus: Double Containment Piping Systems

Double Containment Piping Systems in plastic are a safe and cost-effective solution for the controlled conveyance of aggressive media. The inner pipe can be monitored with a leak detection system and should the medium leak from the pipe, it will be contained in the outer protective pipe until the damage can be located and attended to. Double Containment Piping System provide an increased level of protection for persons, equipment and the environment, in addition to fulfilling the relevant legal requirements. Especially safe are Double Containment Piping Systems that allow all the pipe joints to be done separately and controlled according to DVS guidelines.

Optimised safety for the world of today and Tomorrow

A growing number of companies are interested in telling the public about their commitment to environmental protection. That is why environmentally friendly performance is an important issue at George Fischer, firmly integrated in is corporate policy. Responsible and future-oriented business activities are required

To protect our environment. For us and for our children. A declared goal of our corporate policy is to keep pollution to a minimum in creating products and services. A persuasive example of this is the George Fischer Double containment piping system, CONTAIN-IT Plus

Double Containment Piping Systems exhibit significant benefits for both the user and the system builder. They reduce the possibility of danger where environmentally hazardous media are conveyed within the plant in addition to cutting down on potential downtime in production. They provide protection for people, equipment, buildings, soil, air and water. When properly installed, Double Containment Piping Systems meet the relevant legal requirements and help to lower insurance premiums. In case of damage, an integrated leak detection system makes it possible to locate the leakage point rapidly. The investment soon pays off. Investing in a safe Double Containment Piping System is therefore well worth the effort, taking into consideration that the costs of renovation and other precautionary measures (e.g. a special fire brigade for chemical spills) can be reduced or even totally eliminated.

Application areas:

• Effluent treatment plants with contents hazardous to water
• Effluent plants in water protection areas
• Battery manufacturing
• Chemical industry
• Semiconductor industry
• PCB production
• Power plants
• Metal working/finishing
• Paper/cellulose
• Dumping ground drainage
• Life science
