Heat Fitting and Pipe
1)
Use a pyrometer to check the temperature on the socket
faces.
2)
Use a clean non-synthetic lint free cloth to clean the
heater socket adapter surfaces.
3)
Insert the heater into the heater strippers in between
the pipe end and fitting. Rotate the handwheel moving
the pipe onto the heater and the heater onto the fitting.
Close the jaws until the heater is inserted completely
into the fitting and the pipe is inserted to the insertion
depth mark.
IMPORTANT:
Do not force the heater onto the pipe
and fitting. Allow the pipe and fitting to
melt onto the heater. Forcing the heater
onto the fitting and pipe will damage
the Hornet XL or create a questionable
melt pattern.
Heating time starts when the pipe and fitting are fully
inserted onto the heater adapters.
Heat fitting and pipe for the pipe manufacturer’s
specified period of time or appropriate joining
standard.
2)
Engage the carriage brake to hold the position of the
carriage during heating time.
3)
When the heating time is complete, release the
carriage brake. Open the carriage completely. Quickly
remove the heater from heater strippers.
4)
Quickly inspect the heated parts to make sure all
surfaces have been melted properly.
Fusion and Cooling
1)
Close the carriage bringing the fitting and pipe
together. Close the carriage to the insertion depth mark
on the pipe. Engage the carriage brake to hold the
position of the carriage.
NOTICE:
Be sure to complete the joint in the time
allowed by the pipe manufacturer or
appropriate joining standard.
Allow the jaws to stay in place for the total cooling
time specified by the pipe manufacturer or appropriate
joining standard.
