Fusing the Pipe

procedures may result in a bad joint.
After following the pipe manufacturer's suggested heating
procedure:
A) Shift carriage control valve to neutral position, if it is not
already in that position.
B) Shift the selector valve down to fusion position.
C) Open the carriage just enough to remove the heater.
Quickly remove the heater and inspect pipe ends for
appropriate melt.

under the pipe manufacturer's recommended pressure.
Allow joint to cool under pressure.

compliance with standards established by your company,
