Spin welding, or friction welding as it is also known, is a common process used to attach fittings to polyethylene containers and tanks, resulting in a strong and reliable join. To achieve the best possible result, the fitting and the container must be moulded in compatible materials. We mould all of our Spinweld fittings from the same LLDPE as our tank grade material.

The result is a quality finish, with the fitting becoming integral with the container. Spinweld tools are available in a number of sizes to suit your equipment.

These fittings are available in the following British Standard Taper Pipe (BSTP) sizes and styles:

Caps
