Split Heater Operation for Dual Containment Piping

Description

PH01500-12-8-98
Split heaters are used for fusing the outer pipe of a
dual containment system. Split heaters open enough
to go around the inner pipe so that an outer pipe can
be heated and fused. The heater has a durable anti-
stick coating.

Heater Is Not Explosion Proof

WR00034-9-16-94
This heater is not explosion proof.
Operation of heater in an explosive
¡PELIGRO! atmosphere without necessary safety
precautions will result in serious injury
or death.
If operating in an explosive atmosphere, the heater
should be brought up to temperature in a safe
environment, then unplugged before entering the
explosive atmosphere for fusion.

temperature has been set at the factory.
TX01432-8-5-97

The heater's surface should be checked with a


pyrometer for correct surface temperature. The
thermometers provided on each half of the heater

PH01228-8-5-97
are for reference only and do not reflect the correct
surface temperature. If temperature adjustment is
required, proceed as follows:
Unplug the heater from the power
source to avoid electrical shock while
making adjustments.
Most heater thermoswitch adjustment shafts protrude
through the heater handle bases. The 2" x 4" heater
adjustment shafts are located under the small side
cover plates. Remove one of the screws from the cover
plate and loosen the second screw. Rotate the cover
plate to expose the shaft.
PH01235-8-21-97

Turn the adjustment shafts clockwise to lower


the temperature or counterclockwise to raise the
temperature. One full turn equals approximately 100
degrees. Allow the heater to stabilize at the new
temperature (5 to 10 minutes) after each adjustment.
Both halves of the heater are independently controlled
and must be adjusted with the same procedure.

Clean Heater

PH01229-8-5-97
To prevent a build-up of residue from the plastic pipe accumulating
on the heater (loss of temperature and pipe sticking may result), the
heater surface must be cleaned with a clean, non-synthetic cloth
before and after every fusion joint.

TX01431-8-5-97

Preparation

WR00052-12-1-92
Plug the heater into the appropriate power supply.
Place the heater in the heater stand or sling and allow sufficient
time for the heater to reach operating temperature.
Consult the pipe manufacturer's recommended procedure for
fusing dual containment pipe.
Operate the fusion machine according to the operation
instructions provided with the unit.
NOTICE: On some fusion machines it may be necessary to
remove the facer while using the split heater for butt fusion. When
applicable, a facer pivot spacer kit has been provided with
the split heater to avoid removal of the facer. Always check for
clearance of the heater and facer on the fusion machine before
attempting a fusion joint.
TX01433-8-5-97

Face Outer Pipe

PH01230-8-5-97
The ends of the outer pipe must be faced off prior to fusing the inner
pipe.

Pull the inner pipes back, out of the way, and face the outer pipe
ends.

TX01434-8-5-97

Face and Fuse Inner Pipe


PH01231-8-5-97

Pull outer pipe back from inner jaws.

Install proper inserts in inner jaws and clamp the inner pipe ends in
position for facing.

Face the inner pipe ends.

Use the standard heater for heating and fuse the pipe following
standard procedures provided with the fusion machine.

Change Inserts

PH01232-8-5-97
Remove inserts from inner jaws and install inserts for
outer pipe, if required.

Position the outer pipe in the inner jaws with the


ends of the pipe protruding past the face of the
jaws (this distance is 1" to 1-1/4" for 28, 412 and
618 machines and about 3/4" for a Pit Bull® 14
machine). This distance must be maintained to ensure
a proper fit of the heater in the fusion machine.

NOTICE: Failure to correctly set the distance the pipe


protrudes from the jaws at the fusion area could result
in a bad fusion joint or damage to the heater.
TX01436-8-5-97

Check Alignment

PH01234-8-5-97
Bring the ends of the pipe together and check for
proper alignment. If there is a high-low misalignment,
tighten the high side jaw to bring the ends into
alignment.

Separate the pipe ends to allow for bringing the


heater in.

TX01437-8-5-97

Heating and Fusing Pipe

PH01233-8-5-97
Open the heater to clear the inner pipe and insert
the heater to rest on the guide rods between the pipe
ends. The catch holding the heater ends together
is magnetic. The heater will remain in the closed
position during the heating cycle.

Follow the pipe manufacturer's heating procedure.

When heating time is complete, separate the jaws,


open the heater and quickly remove it from the fusion
machine being careful not to hit the inner pipe or the
outer pipe ends.

Quickly bring the pipe ends back together under the


pipe manufacturer's recommended pressure. Maintain
this pressure until the joint has cooled according to
the pipe manufacturer's recommendations.
