Summary
Choosing the right HDPE pipe fittings is key to building a reliable piping system. This article introduces the most common polyethylene pipe fittings—such as elbows, tees, reducers, flanges, and threaded fittings—and explains how to select between butt fusion and electrofusion connections. With high-quality high density polyethylene pipe fittings, Welping ensures durability, safety, and efficiency in every project.
