New valve boxes range
PRO Series

Cepex has created a new generation of valve boxes made of highimpact polypropylene for underground irrigation systems; it offers a high protection to underground valves and other irrigation or control equipment where easy access for maintenance and control is crucial.

Furthermore of the qualities offered in the traditional Cepex valve boxes, in the Pro series we can find lots of advantages that makes it better, like: new design more modern and functional, built-in space for control module systems, factory pierced slots for pipe and beveled covers.

Also is posible to acquire optionally aditional accesories which makes more complete this range, a frost proof accessory to avoid frozen weather and a base grid to protect the base of the valve box.

Cepexflex
PVC Flexible Hose

Cepex introduces its new family of high-quality PVC flexible hose products, offering more flexibility, lighter weight, and higher strength than any other product on the market. The new hose has smooth exterior and interior surfaces to facilitate fluid flow, and a spiral reinforcement that makes it more rigid. It is available in white and grey.

PVC flexible hose products are especially well-suited to hydro-sanitary applications, filtration of swimming pools, hydrotherapy installations, and drainage.

Outer diameters are sized for assembly with both PVC fittings (solvent socket couplings) and PP fittings (compression couplings), making this product compatible with most of Cepex' line of products. PVC flexible hoses are highly resistant to both residual waters and a wide range of chemicals. They can withstand operating temperatures between –10º C and +55º C (14º F and 131º F) and pressures at the attachment point of up to 30 bar (435 psi), as well as a vacuum pressure of 350 mbar (5.1 psi).

“Compact Series” Ball Valves

Cepex introduces a new line of compact ball valves made of PVC-U and supplied with EPDM O-rings and seats. They are available in sizes ranging from D16 to D63 (3/8 to 2 in) in both solvent socket and threaded versions. Maximum working pressure is 10 bar (150 psi).

This valve is the perfect option when both high performance and low cost are required. A great choice for irrigation systems or anywhere where maintenance-free installations are needed thanks to its compact molded body and one-piece ball and stem set. Its all plastic construction makes it corrosion free and highly resistant to abrasion.

“Compact Series” valves are available in DIN/Metric standards. Threaded versions are supplied with BSP female threads.

Cepex PE 100
Butt welding and Electrofusion fittings

Cepex introduces a complete range of solutions for PE 100 piping applications: butt fusion and electrofusion fittings, as well as welding equipment and valves.

PE 100 is known for its unique properties, which make it ideally suited for several applications. It is an elastic, lightweight, and tough material, with high thermal, chemical, and impact resistance. These characteristics ensure reliable, fast, and low-cost installations.

In order to maximize the benefit to our customers, Cepex is introducing a wide range of butt fusion and electrofusion fittings:

• Butt fusion fittings: available from D25 to D315 in the following designs: 90º elbows, 45º elbows, 30º elbows, 90º tees, 90º reducing tees, caps, reducing bushes, and flange adaptors. Butt fusion fittings are available in SDR 11 (16 bar) and SDR 17 (10 bar) versions.

• Electrofusion fittings: available from D20 to D315 in the following designs: 90º elbows, 45º elbows, equal tees, sockets, and male/female adaptors.

• PE 100 fittings can withstand operating temperatures between -40º C and +100º C (-40º F to +212º F). They are very easy to install using butt fusion and electrofusion welding equipment, which is also offered by Cepex.

• Typical applications include water distribution pipelines, waste water handling, water treatment plants, the chemical industry, aquaculture systems, irrigation facilities, and swimming pool installations.

Performance™ Series PP Compression Fittings:
New look & more features

Cepex introduces their improved range of PP compression fittings for PE pressure piping applications. The complete range, from 16 to 110 mm (16-63 PN 16 / 75-110 PN 10), is available in the following configurations: tees, tees with male or female threaded connections, reducing tees, elbows, elbows with male or female threaded connections, couplings, reducing couplings, male/female adaptors, and plugs.

As with all Cepex products, Performance™ Series PP Compression Fittings have been tested and approved by the world's premier certification institutes. They are the only PP compression fittings certified by TÜV Product Service.

The most significant improvements applied to the product family are as follows:

• Superior Reliability. The O-ring seat has been tilted 20º. This allows the O-ring to press directly against the pipe when the fitting is tightened for a more watertight seal.

• Ease of Installation. Interior guides have been included to prevent the pipe from turning during assembly. In addition, the split ring opening has been optimized to make pipe insertion even easier, enabling quick insertion without the need to disassemble the nut from the fitting.

• Additional Standards. The products are also available in ASTM/NPT standards and are NSF-certified for drinking water distribution.

• New Look. A polished modern design is the result of both improved internal components and a new external appearance for the fittings, which are readily recognized by their blue connectors.

01/01/2003
Universal Transition Fitting

Cepex launches its new Universal Transition Fittings which provide the ability to connect from metric polyethylene pipe to any other recognized pipe material, both metal (copper, lead, galvanized steel) and plastic (PVC, imperial PE, PP). These fittings are a new addition to the Performance™ Series family of PP compression fittings.

• Fast and Easy Connections. Connect by simply inserting the pipe and then tightening the nut. No special tool is required for assembly and there is no need to disassemble the fitting prior to installation (the O-ring is seated only when the nut is tightened, allowing clearance for the pipe to be easily inserted).

• Flexibility. Designed to cover a wide range of pipe sizes (one fitting covers 6 mm in pipe diameters), which reduces cost and stock levels.

• Reliability. The higher the internal pressure, the tighter the split ring seals the connection, increasing the fitting's dependability. Top quality raw materials provide high impact and corrosion resistance.

• Versions. Universal x PE metric and Universal x Universal. A kit is also available which converts any PE metric inlet into a Universal inlet, enabling compatibility with any Cepex Performance™ Series product: elbows, tees, etc.

• Sizes. Currently available for any size between 15 and 21 mm for the Universal inlet (20, 25, and 32 mm for the PE inlet). 21-27 mm and 27-35 mm sizes will be available soon.

• Pressure rating. PN 10 (at 20ºC).
