High-Flow PE100 F-Type Butt Fusion Tee for Geothermal Systems
Product Overview
The PE100 F-Type Butt Fusion Tee is a high-performance reducing fitting specifically engineered to enhance the hydraulic efficiency of geothermal and other hydronic piping systems. Unlike standard tees with sharp 90-degree junctions, the F-Type tee features a long, sweeping branch radius. This streamlined geometry is critical for minimizing turbulence and significantly reducing pressure drop (head loss) as fluid is diverted into the branch line. In large-scale geothermal fields with numerous parallel loops, the cumulative effect of this reduced pressure loss leads to substantial energy savings by allowing for smaller, more efficient circulation pumps. Manufactured from premium PE100 material and joined via the highly reliable butt fusion method, this tee ensures a fully monolithic, leak-proof connection that is as strong and durable as the pipe itself. It is the professional’s choice for designing and building energy-efficient, high-performance fluid distribution networks.
Key Features
- Optimized Hydraulic Design: The signature long-sweep branch drastically cuts down on friction loss and turbulence, promoting smoother flow and contributing directly to lower system-wide energy consumption.
- Permanent Butt Fusion Joints: Creates a homogenous, end-load resistant joint that is completely leak-free and maintenance-free for the system’s 50+ year lifespan.
- Superior PE100 Material: Offers exceptional resistance to corrosion, abrasion, chemical attack, and crack propagation, making it ideal for direct burial and long-term reliability.
- Energy Efficiency: By lowering the overall system head loss, these fittings enable designers to specify smaller pumps, reducing both initial capital costs and long-term operational expenses.
- System Integrity: Provides a robust, factory-molded connection point that is far superior in strength and flow characteristics to saddle-fused or drilled-and-welded branch connections.
Available Types / Connection Methods
Our F-Type tees are reducing tees, specified by main pipe diameter x branch pipe diameter (e.g., 40mm x 32mm). All ends are DIN-standard spigots designed for butt fusion welding with standard equipment.
Applications
- Geothermal Systems: Ideal for connecting individual ground loops to larger manifold headers, ensuring balanced flow with minimal energy loss.
- Hydronic Heating & Cooling: Used for branching off supply and return lines in radiant floor systems, chilled beam applications, and district energy networks.
- Industrial Process Piping: Suitable for any fluid distribution network where minimizing pressure drop is critical.
