This fitting allows the connection of high or low density polyethylene pipes.
The TOF joint system is very simple, easy and quick to install. It consists of only two elements: rubber truncated cone-shaped gasket and metal or plastic anchor ring. The rubber ring has a special configuration due to the polyethylene and production technology.
The truncated cone conforms to pipe tolerance (including ovality) and ensures a perfect hydraulic seal thanks to its proportional resistance, thus offering an important support to the mechanical sealing ring.
The special configuration of the mechanical sealing ring ensures a good adaptation to pipe tolerance and a perfect fastening to the pipe. For PE 100 pipes and gas pipes an internal reinforcing element (bushing) makes the pipe more rigid. The TOF PE joint with reinforced bushing is suitable for PE-X pipes.
The TOF joint is classified as type A compression joint, complying with regulation EN1254-3. The threads comply with regulation UNI ISO 7/1.
