Removing Pipe
After pipe has cooled sufficiently, apply closing force on the
lever handle and push the locking cams down into the unlocked
position. Unscrew the clamp knobs enough that they can be
swiveled outward.

Optional Use of Torque Wrench
When a specified Interfacial Pressure is required in the fusion
procedure, a torque wrench can be used.
IMPORTANT: Use a torque wrench with the No.14 PitBull place
an adapter in the lever socket (Part # 410802). A 1/2" drive
100 ft-lb 15.0" torque wrench is required when using the torque
wrench adapter. Using a torque wrench of a different length will
result in different forces from the torque reading.
To calculate the proper torque reading see Section "Determine
Fusion Force."
Add the torque required to overcome Drag (the force required to
move the pipe at or near the point of fusion) to the torque reading
to assure the proper joining force. This should be determined
prior to inserting the heater.
Failure to follow pipe manufacturer's heating
time, pressure and cooling time may result in a
bad joint.
