Pipes and fittings


Egebjerg offers a wide range of pipes and fittings, which is especially chosen to cover the requirements in pig houses.

Over the recent years the mounting has become faster and much easier due to the wide range of plasticpipes and -fittings.

The low weight makes the handling easy, the pipes can be fitted on the spot and there is no need for cutting a thread.

The snap fittings can even be separated if re-use is needed.

Apart from the assemble advantages the plastic material can also resist various additives.

The following pages will show the different possibilities.
