High-Flow PE100 F-Type Tee for Socket Fusion Geothermal Systems
Product Overview
The PE100 F-Type Socket Fusion Tee is a specialized high-performance fitting designed to maximize the hydraulic efficiency of smaller-diameter geothermal and hydronic circuits. Its defining feature is the long, sweeping branch, a deliberate design choice that promotes laminar flow and drastically reduces the pressure drop (head loss) common in standard tees. This superior hydraulic performance is crucial in multi-loop systems, as it lowers the overall energy required for fluid circulation, enabling the use of smaller pumps and reducing long-term operating costs. This tee is intended for connection via socket fusion welding, a reliable and widely used method for pipe sizes up to 110mm. The process creates a strong, permanent, and leak-proof joint by melting the outer surface of the pipe and the inner surface of the fitting’s socket together. For installers and system designers focused on total system efficiency, this F-Type socket fusion tee is the premium choice for creating optimized, energy-saving branch connections.
Key Features
- Superior Hydraulic Performance: The long radius “F-Type” design minimizes turbulence at the branch junction, significantly lowering pressure loss compared to conventional tees and boosting system efficiency.
- Reliable Socket Fusion Joint: Creates a robust, homogenous weld zone, ensuring a permanent, leak-free connection that is ideal for buried or inaccessible locations. Socket fusion is fast and efficient for smaller pipe diameters.
- Energy Savings: The reduced system-wide pressure drop allows for downsizing circulation pumps, leading to lower upfront investment and a notable reduction in lifetime energy consumption.
- Durable PE100 Construction: Made from virgin PE100 resin, the fitting is fully resistant to corrosion, abrasion, and chemicals found in geothermal loops, guaranteeing a service life of over 50 years.
- Professional Grade Installation: Offers a technically superior alternative to less reliable mechanical tees, ensuring the long-term integrity and performance of the entire piping system.
Available Types / Connection Methods
These are reducing tees, specified by main pipe diameter x branch pipe diameter (e.g., 40mm x 32mm). The sockets are manufactured to standard dimensions (Type A) for reliable welding with all common socket fusion heating tools.
Applications
- Geothermal Systems: Connecting individual ground loops to distribution headers.
- Radiant Heating & Cooling: Branching lines in underfloor or ceiling hydronic systems.
- Chilled Water Distribution: Creating take-offs for fan coil units or other terminal equipment.
- Domestic & Light Commercial Plumbing: Anywhere high-efficiency PE piping is specified.
