HDPE Fix Sockets
Our four HDPE fix sockets are fix fork socket (TTFH), fix cylindrical socket (CYFH), adjustable cylindrical socket with shims (CYSH) and cylindrical socket with coupler (CYCH).
HDPE fixed sockets are specifically designed and manufactured to accommodate the additional HDPE layer within the socket neck. A critical area for HDPE sheathed cables is the interface at the socket neck. Teufelberger-Redaelli has engineered a technical solution to prevent water getting into the socket. The socket has been specially designed to create a water-tight joint which seals the entrance of the cable. This joint is suitable for all the sizes of sockets. The water-tight joint offers several benefits:
- Connection between HDPE cover, cable and socket is secured from risk of water ingress.
- There is a mechanical locking mechanism on to the cable, ensuring firm fixing of the HDPE.
- No significant change from the original socket’s geometry and primary steel connection dimensions.
Socketing option in this application is restricted to polyester resin for structural applications with minimum 100% efficiency to the strand minimum breaking force. In accordance with EN 13411-4 resin is recommended for HDPE sheathed cables instead of zinc / zinc alloy socketing due to the high temperatures involved with that process which can melt and damage the polyethylene.
