PIPE JOINING TECHNOLOGY
SMALL DIAMETER
Dual rows of stainless steel teeth engage into the outside diameter of plain end HDPE as coupling housing halves are tightened bolt pad to bolt pad, allowing for visual confirmation of correct assembly.
LARGE DIAMETER
Coupling “keys” engage into double grooved HDPE pipe as coupling housing halves are tightened bolt pad to bolt pad, allowing for visual confirmation of correct assembly.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

FORGET FUSION
INSTALLS UP TO 10× FASTERJoin HDPE pipe in half the time it takes to fuse a joint. Forget the fusion equipment. Gone are the days of waiting for plastic to heat up just to cool down. Installing in tight or vertical spaces has never been easier; the Refuse-to-Fuse system goes where no fusion machine has gone before. That's time savings you've never seen before.
INSTALLATION IS WEATHER INDEPENDENTWhether it's rain, shine, or just downright frigid and fierce, Refuse-to-Fuse products can be installed. No need to check the weather forecast and worry about protection for fusion equipment or project delays any longer.

The Refuse-to-Fuse™ System for HDPE Pipe
LUBE PUSH
INSTALLS WITH SIMPLE TOOLSNo need to set up your fancy fusion machine because all you will need with the Refuse-to-Fuse system is a simple socket wrench. If you want to get crazy, a cordless impact driver will do the job, too!
Don’t worry about training certificates or learning how to use fusion equipment, just stick with the basics.
MEETS OR EXCEEDS PRESSURE RATINGS OF HDPE PIPEIf you thought your fused joint was tough, check out Refuse-to-Fuse product performance. Small diameter solutions call for dual rows of razor-sharp teeth that sink into the O.D. of HDPE pipe, forming a sealed hold that never lets go. Bringing out the big guns? Large diameter solutions enlist a rugged double groove to seal the deal. Push it, pull it, and drag it to the max; treat it the same way you would treat fused pipe.

CASE STUDYATLAS RESOURCES HAMMANSALT WATER DISPOSALIn June 2015, construction was completed at the Atlas Resources Hamman salt water disposal (SWD) facility in Jacksboro, Texas. The Hamman facility is comprised of ten water tanks, two oil tanks, one gun barrel, and three offload stations. Prior to its commencement, the project’s contractor knew the job would be laden with challenges associated with joining HDPE pipe while facing construction schedule constraints.

CASE STUDYATLAS RESOURCES HAMMANSALT WATER DISPOSAL
Fusing HDPE pipe would be an unfavorable option because of its extremely time-consuming nature. Additionally, fusion would require good weather conditions in order to allow for proper mending of fusion welds.
Prefabrication options and new Victaulic HDPE products boasted several attractive benefits, including controlled costs and a dramatic improvement on the SWD facility’s completion date. Victaulic was able to provide a hard number for the prefabrication piece of the project and presented the new Style 908, Style 907, and Style 905 HDPE couplings as a way to finish the job in just 3 – 4 weeks, according to Atlas Resources personnel.
During the first week of assembly, the job site was hit with high winds and 11 – 13" | 28 – 33 cm of rain. Fortunately, thanks to Victaulic, construction was able to remain on schedule, with the prefabricated portion finishing in 6 days and the offload station and additional piping finishing in 10 days. The easy-to-install Victaulic HDPE couplings were the ideal solution to deal with heavy rain and wet conditions, especially when compared with HDPE fusion.
After successfully overcoming various challenges by using Victaulic HDPE solutions, the Hamman facility was recognized by the Plastic Pipe Institute (PPI) and received the 2016 Energy Piping Systems Division Project of the Year award.
