Butt Fusion Procedure
3 - 7
Heat the Pipe
A) Move the carriage to the left, bringing the heater into contact
with both pipe ends. Ensure both ends are in full contact with the
heater.
B) Carefully reduce pressure to measured drag pressure by partially
actuating the pressure release lever. Be sure to close release lever
after pressure reaches measured drag pressure.
C) Move the carriage control valve to the neutral position to prevent
accidental actuation of the pump lever from affecting carriage
position or pressure during the heating cycle. During the heating
cycle make sure the pipe does not pull away from the heater.
NOTICE:
It may be necessary to omit Step C to prevent the pipe from
pulling away from the heater. If this is necessary, drag pressure must
be manually maintained by actuating the pump lever.

Insert Heater
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.
Use a clean non-synthetic cloth to clean the butt fusion heater surfaces.
Verify heater temperature by noting the reading on the dial thermometer.
Insert heater between the pipe ends.
