Applicable Systems:

Description
The TXJoint consists of:
1. T-shoe including PERP tape
2. Open shrink wraps
3. Closure patches
4. Shrink wrap
5. Closure patch
6. SX-WPJoint
7. Venting plugs
8. Weld plugs
The branch piece of the T-shoe is one dimension larger than the dimension of the pipe which is connected to.
SX-WPJoint now reduces to the dimension of the pipe which is connected to.
Application
T-joint for foaming, used to branch perpendicular to the main pipe.
The T-joint is made of PE and the shrink sleeve of cross-linked PE (PEX).
If it is to be used in connection with hot tapping, this must be stated when ordering.
Installation on pipes with corrugated casing requires that the branch be sealed with an extra collar, which is ordered separately.
As a standard TXJoint is double sealed on the T-shoe. The branch can be double sealed by installing an open shrink wrap on one end of the SX-WPJoint towards the main pipe and a collar at the other end.
