Saddle Fusion Procedure
Heat Pipe and Fitting
Heater is not explosion proof. Operation of heater
in an explosive atmosphere without necessary safety
precautions will result in serious injury or death.
If operating in an explosive atmosphere, heater should be brought up to
temperature in a safe environment, then unplugged before entering the
explosive atmosphere for fusion.
Move the jaw to bring the fitting into contact with the heater and the
heater in contact with the pipe.
Establish proper melt pattern as specified by the pipe manufacturer.
NOTICE:
Failure to follow pipe manufacturer's heating time, pressure
and cooling time may result in a bad joint.

Fuse Fitting to Pipe
Move the jaw and fitting back just enough to remove the heater. Remove
the heater with a snap action and quickly inspect the melt pattern. Quickly
move the jaw and fitting against the main under the pipe manufacturer's
recommended pressure.
NOTICE: The operator must maintain the fusion force until the joint has
cooled for the pipe manufacturer's, recommended time.
