IMPORTANT NOTES
Welding procedure
✓Skill and knowledge are required to obtain a good quality joint.
✓Ensure you select the proper temperature according to the pipe manufacturer’s
recommendation.
✓It is important to know the technical information before you use your heating tool.
Non-stick coating
The heating adapters have a coated surface that has been treated to reduce polymer
adhesion. If the polymer adheres to the heating plate, lightly wipe with a clean cotton cloth to
remove. Do not use a wire brush or an abrasive.
Welding parameters
Pipe and fitting manufacturers have established qualified fusion procedures which should be
followed precisely. You should obtain a copy of the pipe manufacturer's procedures or
appropriate joining standard for the pipe being fused.
Heating iron temperature
To meet pipe manufacture’s temperature specifications, the surface temperature of the
heating adapters should be measured with a surface pyrometer prior to initial use and at
reasonable time intervals thereafter.
Ensure you test the temperature on the surface of the heating adapters and not on the heating
plate itself. The heater’s built-in thermometer indicates internal temperature and should only
be use for reference.
CAUTION
Heating iron
✓The heater is to be used with AC power only. Check heater to confirm correct power
requirements and only use a power source with the correct voltage and current capacity.
✓Connect heating tool to power and permit sufficient preheating to stabilize the
temperature before the welding process.
✓When welding, if temperature adjustment is needed, please turn off the heating tool first
and turn it on again to adjust the new temperature. Adjustment of the temperature when
it is already set will damage the temperature control components.
✓It is recommended to use an insulated heater bag to store the heating tool when it is hot.
