Fusing the Pipe (Positive Vertical Fusion Pressure)
NOTICE:
Failure to follow pipe manufacturer's fusion procedures
may result in a questionable joint.
After following the pipe manufacturer's suggested heating
procedure:
A
) Shift the carriage directional control to neutral position.
B
) Shift the pressure selector to the facing position.
C
) Open the carriage just enough to remove the heater.
Quickly remove the heater. Inspect pipe ends for appropriate
melt.
Acrobat 250 and 315: Quickly remove the heater by grabbing
the heater latch and pulling it into the handle of the heater to
release from the guide rod. Inspect pipe ends for appropriate melt.
D

E
) Quickly close the carriage, bringing the pipe ends together under the
vertical fusion pressure.
Allow joint to cool under pressure according to pipe manufacturer’s
or appropriate joining standard's recommendations.
