E Joint – Insulating Joint

Spigot and socket pipe joints are commonly used for low and medium pressure steel pipelines but for potable water systems where an internal epoxy coating is required, the welding process can sometimes damage the internal lining of the pipes. The FT E Joint is a great solution to this issue because it includes an air pocket, which reduces the heat transfer to the internal surface significantly, reducing the risk of damage to the lining.

“The E-joint has proven itself to do exactly what it says on the tin, and protect the internal lining during welding operations. The feedback from the welders and joiners on site have all been positive.”
