PECS (PE Coil to Straight) Connectors are a fully reusable product developed to overcome the problems encountered when passing coiled PE pipe through service cut outs whilst slip lining an existing metallic pipe using a pushing device attached to a mini digger.

When inserting the new PE pipe by pushing, as an alternative to winching, it is essential that the new PE pipe passes straight through the service cuts outs i.e. out of one section and into the next, without being damaged by the metallic pipe as it re-enters.

Historically it has been necessary to butt fuse a straight length of PE onto the start of the coil, whilst this is an acceptable solution it is expensive one, both in time and money with additional equipment required on site.

If a straight section of pipe is not attached to the front of the coil then due to the curvature of the coiled pipe it is usually necessary to manually guide the pipe into the next section. This can be extremely dangerous as it is likely that the mini digger operator pushing the PE will be some distance away from, and not in the line of sight of, the operative guiding the pipe.

To solve this problem Pipe Equipment Specialists Ltd has developed a simple, cost effective solution based on our Standard Towing Head technology. This product is known as the
PECS Connector.

Available for all PE pipe sizes from 63mm to 180mm PECS Connectors are an easy to fit three part system; comprising of a Leading Nose Cone, plus Male and Female PECS Connectors.
