The new ELGEF Plus Y-tapping saddle range features the patented Y-shape design, expandable belt, drillable heating element and the well known ELGEF Plus electrofusion technology. The innovative Y-shaped design with optimized flow characteristics and reduced pressure losses helps reducing operational cost of the network. With an overall low installation height, there is a reduced risk during excavation work to damage pipes as well as its corresponding costs can be reduced significantly. Additionally the safety for the whole team on site is increased during subsequential excavation work thanks to an outlet position below the pipe apex.
