Electrofusion Saddle Tee Weba 40 mm black (02-05-0040-23)

The Electrofusion Saddle Tee Weba 40 mm black is a molded saddle fitting designed for joining a 40 mm polyethylene branch to a main PE pipeline using electrofusion technique. Manufactured by Weba, this black saddle tee enables a controlled fusion process that produces a permanent, leak-resistant joint between the branch and the main line. It is intended for use in systems where reliable PE electrofusion connections are required, such as potable water, gas distribution and irrigation networks.

Advantages

This electrofusion saddle tee provides a precise alignment for branch connections and a uniform heating zone to ensure consistent fusion quality. The integrated electrofusion coil delivers stable heating during the welding cycle, reducing the risk of cold joints. The black polyethylene construction offers UV resistance and mechanical durability suitable for underground and aboveground installations when installed according to standards. The fitting supports predictable cycle times and repeatable performance with compatible electrofusion equipment.

Suitable for

• Creating a branch connection from a main polyethylene water distribution line
• Gas distribution networks where electrofusion fittings are specified
• Irrigation and agricultural piping systems requiring secure branch joints
• Repair or extension works on existing PE pipelines using electrofusion technique

Key specifications

• Material: polyethylene (PE) suitable for electrofusion joining
• Connection type: electrofusion saddle tee for branch tapping
• Branch diameter: 40 mm
• Colour: black (UV resistant formulation)
• Application: potable water, gas distribution, irrigation depending on system design and approvals
• Installation method: electrofusion welding with compatible control unit and procedure

How to use

Select an appropriate location on the main PE pipe, ensuring the surface is clean, dry and free from damage. Follow the electrofusion equipment manufacturer’s instructions to prepare the pipe surface, position the saddle tee and apply clamping if required. Connect the electrofusion control unit to the saddle tee terminals, set the prescribed fusion parameters and run the fusion cycle. Allow the joint to cool undisturbed for the specified cooling time before applying pressure or backfill. Always follow relevant standards and the system designer’s requirements for pressure testing and commissioning.

Usage recommendations

Use only compatible electrofusion control units and follow certified welding procedures. Verify that the material and fitting specifications match the pipeline application (potable water, gas, irrigation) and obtain any required approvals before installation. Store fittings protected from prolonged sunlight and extreme temperatures prior to installation.
