Pipe Preparation
Pipe preparation is the basis of the ElectroFusion process. Regardless of the fitting manufacturer, fittings will not perform to their full ability if the preparation has not been performed in a proper manner as instructed by the manufacturer. The pipe preparation includes few simple yet important steps described below:
Cutting of the pipe: The pipe ends must be cut square and even. Cutting the pipe square is extremely important.
Failure to cut the pipe square may leave the heating wire uncovered. This can lead to short circuit, overheating, uncontrolled melting and even sudden ignition. Remove any burrs or shavings from the pipe ends.
