About PE-RT II Electrofusion End Cap
PE-RT II electrofusion end cap is used to terminate and permanently close the end of a compatible PE-RT II pipeline. It is selected for final line ends, reserved extensions or other positions where the pipeline must be sealed while maintaining an electrofusion-welded connection.
The fitting contains an integrated electrofusion heating element. After the pipe end is properly prepared and inserted into the fitting, compatible electrofusion equipment is used to complete the weld. The end cap size should match the outside diameter of the pipe being closed.
About PE-RT II Material
PE-RT II (Polyethylene of Raised Temperature Resistance Type II) is a thermoplastic polyethylene material developed for piping systems that must maintain mechanical strength at elevated temperatures. Compared with conventional polyethylene, PE-RT II offers improved long-term temperature resistance while retaining the benefits of a weldable plastic piping system.
Because PE-RT II remains thermoplastic, compatible pipes and fittings can be joined by butt fusion or electrofusion to create a continuous all-plastic welded pipeline system. The material is also valued for corrosion resistance, resistance to internal scaling, relatively low weight, smooth internal surfaces and installation flexibility.
Operating Temperature
PE-RT II is used in hot- and cold-water and heating applications where elevated-temperature performance is required. The exact allowable temperature depends on pipe and fitting design, SDR or wall thickness, operating pressure and application class. Many PE-RT II piping systems are designed for long-term service in approximately the 70–80°C range, while short-term or maximum design conditions can reach about 95°C. Final temperature and pressure limits should always be confirmed against the actual pipe specification and project design conditions.
Typical Applications
- Secondary district-heating and heat-distribution networks
- Building heating and hot-water circulation systems
- Radiant heating and underfloor heating systems
- HVAC hydronic heating and cooling circuits
- Heat-pump and geothermal circulation systems
- Compatible industrial hot-water and thermal-fluid pipelines
Selection Considerations
For project selection, confirm pipe outside diameter, SDR or wall thickness, design pressure, normal operating temperature, maximum temperature, fluid medium and installation method together.
Product Details
Overview
The PE-RT II electrofusion end cap provides a welded pipe-end closure for compatible PE-RT II systems and becomes part of the pipeline after electrofusion.
Product Features
- PE-RT II construction
- Electrofusion jointing
- Permanent pipeline end closure
- Sizes from 40 to 400 mm
- Suitable for compatible PE-RT II piping systems
Applications & Installation
Typical Applications
Used at pipeline ends, reserved future extensions and other termination points in compatible PE-RT II heating distribution, hot-water circulation, HVAC hydronic and other thermal-fluid piping systems.
Electrofusion Jointing
Prepare and clean the pipe end, scrape the fusion area as required, align and secure the end cap, then carry out electrofusion using compatible welding equipment and the applicable project installation procedure. Allow the joint to cool before moving or pressurizing the pipeline.
