Butt fusion involves the simultaneous heating of the ends of two pipe/fitting components which are to be joined, until a molten state is attained on each contact surface. The two surfaces are then brought together under controlled pressure for a specific cooling time and a homogeneous fusion joint is formed
Butt Fusion is a method of joining plastic pipe, fittings, or other similar forms of a thermoplastic resin wherein the two ends to be joined are heated to the molten state and then rapidly pressed together to form a homogeneous bond.” With HDPE fittings you would use a butt fusion machine, heat both ends of the fittings or pipe and press them together to form a strong bond/fusion and eliminating all potential leaks and joints.
