Water pipe melters are usually used for the connection of plastic pipes such as PE (polyethylene) and PPR (random copolymer polypropylene). The use of a fuser ensures tightness and durability at the pipe joints. Here are the basic steps to use a water pipe fuser:
Check the fuser: Make sure that the fuser is clean and undamaged, especially on the surface of the hot plate.
Prepare pipes and fittings: Prepare the pipes and fittings to be connected as needed, such as elbows, tees, etc.
Measure and cut: Measure the required pipe length and use a special cutting tool to cut it to ensure that the cut is straight.
Preheat the fuser: Turn on the fuser, set the appropriate heating temperature according to the material and thickness of the pipe, and wait for the fuser to heat up to the set temperature.
Clean: Use a cleaning tool to clean the joints of pipes and fittings to ensure that there is no dust and oil.
Tag depth: Marks the depth of the inserted fitting on the tube to ensure the correct position when connecting.
Heating pipes and fittings: Insert the end of the pipe and the corresponding part of the fitting into the heating mold of the fuser respectively, and heat it according to the pipe specifications and the heating time recommended by the manufacturer.
Connect quickly: Once heating is complete, the tubes and fittings are quickly inserted or socketed directly to the pre-marked depth, ensuring no twisting.
Stay still: Keep still after connection, do not move the pipe and fittings until the hot melt joint is cooled and fixed.
Wait for a certain cooling time for the hot melt splices to cool down completely and solidify. The cooling time varies depending on the tube diameter and wall thickness, as well as the ambient temperature.
After cooling and curing, check that the joints are firm and free of water leakage. If necessary, an appropriate stress test can be performed.
Before using the fuser, please read the product manual carefully to understand the specific operation procedures and safety precautions.
Ensure personal protection during operation to avoid scalding from contact with hot parts.
Different brands and models of fusers may have different operating details, so be sure to follow the manufacturer's specific instructions.
If you have not operated a fuser, it is recommended to do it under the guidance of a professional, or **related operation** learning.
