Step 6
Selecting Pipe Size

Next the unit will prompt the installer to select the size of the joint being fused. 

Scroll UP or DOWN to highlight the correct size, then press START to select size.

Step 7
Selecting Heat Cycle

The unit will ask if a pre-heat cycle is needed for the joint. If fusion will be performed 

where pipe temperatures are outside the range of 60 - 90 degrees F, please consult 

Orion Fittings Technical department at (910) 865-7530 before proceeding. All other 

fusions should be performed using the STANDARD cycle, which is selected by 

pressing the START button.

Step 8
Verifying Welding Parameters

The screen will display “VERIFY WELDING PARAMETERS” and an audible beep 

will sound to indicate the fusion unit is ready to begin welding. Verify the welding 

data displayed on the screen matches the joint being fused. If the information is 

incorrect, press the STOP/BACK button to return to any of the menu options to 

correct the fusion parameters. Once the parameters have been verified, press 

START to begin the fusion weld.
