How ELGEF Plus was decisive for the reduction of household energy consumption in Germany

The city of Soest in North Rhine-Westphalia, is running a pilot project with the intention of supplying some 600 residential units with cold local heat. ELGEF Plus electrofusion welding sockets and fittings are used to route the long polyethylene pipes. In addition, the ELGEF Plus pressure tapping valves, rotatable through 360°, make sure the numerous branch lines reach the individual dwellings. The corrosion-free and chemical-resistant components from GF Piping Systems are likewise made from polyethylene, making them ideally suited for use in Soest.
