Our compression HDPE fittings are PN16 plastic units designed to work with HDPE pipes to. connect HDPE pipes to each other, to other pipes, or accessories. They attach HDPE pipes other pipes such as PVC pipes, GI pipes, and delivery pipes in irrigation. Pressure nominal, abbreviated as PN is a measure of the maximum allowable internal pressure in bars of a mechanical component at 20 degree celcius

HDPE fittings price in Kenya is less for bulk purchases. Lessor quantity of units costs more. These HDPE fittings range from 20mm to 315mm. Our HDPE fittings are rated as PN 16, meaning they are tough to withstand breakage from intense water pressure, and falls. They have anti-UV treatment to protect them against rapid solar degradation

We have retail and wholesale prices depending on the quantity purchased. For specific fittings prices, we quote on request. Farmers have a choice of our PVC irrigation system (PVC pipes + PVC fittings) or HDPE irrigation system (HDPE pipes + fittings). The difference is that PVC irrigation systems must be sub-surface because the pipe and fittings do not have UV-block. However, they are cheaper than PVC pipes and fittings

HDPE Fittings Installation

• Adaptors; male and female adaptors. They connect the HDPE pipe to another pipe type such as PVC pipe, GI pipe, delivery, or PVR pipe. They connect it too to tanks and water pumps
• Connectors; equal connectors and reducing connectors. Equal connectors connect pipes of equal sizes. Reducing connectors connect HDPE pipes of different sizes
•  Elbows; equal elbows, male elbows, female elbows. They are used as joiners to change the pipe’s direction to the left, right, up, or down. Our equal elbows are 90 or 45 degrees
• End caps of all sizes. Fixed at the end of the pipe, they cork or close it to prevent water flow
