Compact Geothermal Single U-Bend, PE100, for Single Loop GSHP Probes
Product Overview
The PE100 Compact Single U-Bend is a purpose-built fitting for creating the foundational component of a Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP) system: the single-loop geothermal probe. This fitting forms the 180° return bend at the bottom of the borehole, allowing a single continuous pipe to be looped for heat exchange. Its most important attribute is the “small body” or ultra-compact design. This slim profile is engineered to eliminate any risk of the probe snagging or getting stuck during insertion into narrow or irregular vertical boreholes, a critical factor for successful installation. Made from high-quality PE100, the fitting’s DIN standard spigot ends are designed for socket fusion, creating a permanent, homogenous weld to the geothermal pipe. This ensures a fully sealed, maintenance-free loop deep underground, delivering the long-term reliability essential for any geothermal project.
Key Features
- Optimized for Narrow Boreholes: The ultra-compact, streamlined profile guarantees the easiest possible installation, sliding effortlessly into boreholes where space is at a premium.
- Permanent Leak-Proof Connection: Socket fusion creates a joint that is stronger than the pipe itself, providing complete peace of mind by eliminating the possibility of underground leaks for the system’s 50+ year lifespan.
- Simplified Probe Assembly: A single U-bend is the simplest and most cost-effective solution for fabricating a standard single-loop geothermal probe, ideal for residential and light commercial applications.
- Durable PE100 Material: Provides exceptional long-term performance, with high resistance to stress cracking, abrasion, and the chemical environment found in soil and heat transfer fluids.
- Integrated Weight Attachment Point: Features a molded-in eyelet at its tip, providing a reliable point to attach a weight, which is essential for sinking the probe assembly to the bottom of deep, water-filled boreholes.
Available Types / Connection Methods
This fitting is designed for a single pipe loop and features two spigot outlets for socket fusion welding. It is available in the most common geothermal pipe sizes: DN25 and DN32.
Applications
Its sole application is in the construction of single-loop vertical geothermal probes for:
- Residential Ground Source Heat Pump systems.
- Light commercial projects.
- Applications where a single, deep borehole loop is specified.
Standards & Quality
Our Single U-Bends are manufactured in an ISO 9001 certified environment using PE100 resin that meets ISO 4427 requirements. The spigot dimensions are precision-made to DIN standards for flawless compatibility with socket fusion tooling.
