Electrofusion Systems:
The smarter, more reliable way of fusing HDPE
pipe
 The strongest, most reliable leak-proof seal in the industry
Friatec is engineered smarter than traditional fusion systems.
Manufactured in the USA, Friatec couplings feature a unique, exposed
coil design that provides a seal stronger than any other
electrofusion system on the market. This is achieved for two
reasons:
• The heat, created by the electrical current passing through the
exposed coil of the Friatec coupling, is transferred directly to the
PE pipe.
• The coil protrudes from the interior surface of the coupling. When
the pipe is heated, the coil sinks into it creating a much stronger
bond.
As a result of this process, every joint will be sealed precisely to
specification, automatically, every time, minimizing the risk of
human error. This unparalleled sealing technology has earned Friatec
couplings the highest pressure rating in the industry. What’s more,
because every joint is as strong as the pipe itself, the Friatec
Electrofusion system is ideal for horizontal direct drilling and
other trenchless applications.
Industry-leading trackability
With the industry’s most advanced barcode monitoring, recording and
tracking technology, Friatec makes managing your infrastructure
easier than ever before. Imagine, no more hidden costs or surprises
on future dig ups. Instead, you’ll know when, where and how every
coupling in your system was installed, and by whom. All these
benefits add up to deliver substantial time and cost savings on
every project.
Faster, easier installation
 Thanks to Friatec’s portable “FRIAMAT® II” universal
electrofusion processor, installation is quick and easy. It can be performed
right in the trench, even where space is extremely limited. For trackability, the barcode label of
each coupling is also scanned with FRIAMAT® II’s reader wand . FRIAMAT® II automatically determines the best electrical current and
fusing time required. And most importantly, the FRIAMAT® II is more:
• Reliable: because it uses electricity to distribute heat uniformly
around the coupling for a more uniformly sealed joint.
• Repeatable: as it automatically adjusts processing parameters for
each coupling by accounting for the job-site conditions, such as
ambient temperature, eliminating human error and ensuring that the
seal is precisely to specification, every time!
• Verifiable: because it generates a fusion report for each fitting,
empowering contractors with instant verification of seal integrity
and comprehensive documentation for archiving.
• Trackable: as it allows you to retrieve fusion records and allows
you to enter your GPS location.
