Gas Distribution Products04 Elster PerfectionPermasert .The heart of our systemThe Permasert polyethylene mechanical coupling revolutionizedthe natural gas industry for the same reason it’s number one today it’s safe and remarkably quick and easy to install.Permasert fittings utilize a slotted, taperedcollet to “grip“ the tubing. With this system,the greater the pull-out force, the moretightly the collet grips the tubing. As aresult, the pull-out strength of Permasertcouplings is greater than the connectedpolyethylene tubing. The coupling’sone piece construction ensuresconsistent, gas-tight connectionsin any weather condition.12345/Benefits Fast and easy installation, requiresonly one person Total installed cost savings versuselectrofusion and heat-fusionjoined polyethylene No special tools or costlyinstallation equipment No special training required to install Non-corrosive couplings eliminatethe need for protective coatings andcathodic protection Safe, dependable performance sincemarket introduction in 1976 Minimal stress on PE tubing Molded from industry leadingPE4710/PE3408 resinThe foundationof our systemPermasert mechanical couplings areavailable in many different configurationsand sizes to satisfy widely varyingfield requirements. Among the stylesof Permasert couplings are straightcouplings, reducing couplings, repaircouplings, 3-way tees, 3-way reducingtees, elbows, wyes, blind end caps, blindend stubs, and our CopperSert transitioncoupling.
