Re-rounding Even small amounts of ovalilty in large pipe will result in large gaps between the pipe and the fitting. It is critical that pipe is correctly re-rounded prior to attempting assembly and welding of the fitting. Plasson has developed a specialised tool to assist this process.

Scraping Correct scraping is critical - as with all EF. Rotational scrapers are available from Plasson for all fitting diameters. Hand scraping is not recommended on large bore due to the difficulty in ensuring a complete even scrape.
