EHV WELDED ANGLE COUPLERS FOR TUBE
TYPE WLI-45-EHV/WLI-90-EHV

ALUMINUM
WLI-45-EHV/ Aluminum alloy, tube to tube, couplers are designed for
WLI-90-EHV corona free service at 500 KV. This is an internal fitting
connector with sufficient chamfer adjacent to tube ends for
proper welding. The fitting is of sufficient strength to give
adequate support to the tubing. The smooth contoured surface
of this connector is free of nicks and burrs, which make it
suitable for high voltage corona free application. To specify
for extra heavy schedule 80 EHIPS tubing, add “H” to catalog
number; example: WLIH-45-3030-EHV.
Material: Castings - 356-T6 aluminum alloy

EHV WELDED COUPLERS FOR TUBE
TYPE WCI

ALUMINUM
WCI Aluminum alloy weldment couplers are designed for corona
free service at 345, 500, and 765 KV levels. Slot provides
for close fit regardless of tubing tolerance. The joint can be
stiffened, if desired, by drilling four holes in the tubing at 90˚
lateral points and plug welding the tubing to the coupler. When
joining two different bus sizes, add “EHV” suffix to catalog
number (example: WCI-5040-EHV, for coupling a 5” IPS to
a 4” IPS).
Material: Castings - 356-T6 aluminum alloy
Note: To specify coupler for extra heavy (Schedule 80,
EHIPS) tubing add “H” to catalog number; example:
WCIH-3030.
