Pipe Fusion Process Overview

Introduction to Pipe Fusion

  • The speaker introduces the task of performing an inch and a quarter pipe fusion, indicating preparation with pre-cut pipes.

Temperature Check

  • The current temperature is confirmed at 500°F, which is crucial for the fusion process. The speaker emphasizes checking the temperature on the outside part of the tool rather than its face.

Timing for Fusion

  • A timer is set for 3 seconds to place the pipe onto the tool, followed by a holding period of about 60 seconds to ensure proper setting. This step is critical in achieving a leak-proof fusion.

Final Notes on Procedure

  • After fusing, it’s advised not to disturb the joint for approximately 10 minutes to allow adequate time for it to set properly. The speaker reassures that this method will result in a reliable inch and a quarter HDPE pipe fusion that will not leak.
