PE pipes have excellent mechanical and chemical properties and are widely used as water and sewer pipes. The pipes are cut and transported 6 meters in length to facilitate transport and operation. Transferred pipes are joined just before reclamation, resulting in long working hours and environmental contamination due to leakage due to poor coupling. Additional costs are also incurred for the re-work. In this study, we developed a device that can combine the PE pipes and Sockets. Structural safety was verified through structural analysis. In combination with socket and pipe, there is no defect in joint and watertight test shows no leakage.
