- Below are the common steps to install electrofusion machine:
-
First of all clean the surface of the HDPE pipe ends.
-
Scrap the pipe ends if required Insert pipe ends into the coupler.
-
Secure coupler using clamps.
-
Connect the electrofusion machine push leads into the coupler two pins.
-
Start the fusion cycle with correct fusion time manually or by barcode scanner.
-
Therefore After fusion, time waits for a cooling time as given in the fittings.
-
Pressure test the pipe.
Electric power supply: Electrofusion welding power supply is constant voltage. The constant machines would provide more consistent energy. However, leading to high electrical resistance in the coil.
