What is the Best Method to Join HDPE Pipes?

Fusion welding is the gold standard for HDPE pipe joining. The two most common methods are butt fusion and electrofusion, both of which create high-strength, continuous piping systems.

Butt Fusion vs. Electrofusion – Which One is Better?

  • Butt Fusion: Best for large-diameter pipelines, municipal water supply, and industrial systems.

  • Electrofusion: Best for small spaces, repairs, and complex installations.

How to Ensure a Secure Connection

Proper alignment, heating temperature, and cooling time are crucial for successful HDPE pipe joints. A well-joined HDPE system guarantees superior performance in high-pressure applications.
