1. Preparing the tube
NOTE
The surfaces to be welded must be cleaned
immediately before welding. Protect the surfaces
from weather conditions.
2. Preparing the socket welder
A. Fix the adaptors corresponding to the
diameters of the tubes to be welded to the
heating plate. In no case they may protrude
from the periphery of the heating plate.

3. Welding process
A. Heating: apply a slight pressure both to the
tube and the accessory to let the adapters
go into the corresponding tube or accessory
(tube to female adapter, accessory to
male adapter) for the time stated in table.
B. Assembly: Remove the tube and the
accessory from their adapters and introduce
one into the other (NO TURNING) up to
the weld depth mark. This operation must
be done as fast and carefully as possible.
C. Setting and cooling: the time for this
last stage is shown in the table. Make
sure no forces are exerted onto the
welding area during this time. When
the time is over, the welded tubes and
the accessories may be used following

4. Weld checking
The weld lip must be uniform over the full rim.
Storage
When the equipment is no longer going to be used,
you are recommended to turn it off and allow it to
cool in order to store it. Store it carefully in a locked,
dry place out of reach of children.
Care and maintenance
Inspect the adapters before using them. Carefully
remove any material remaining from previous
welding operations.
PRECAUCION
Do not use metallic items or solvents to remove
residues, as these could damage the surface of the
adapter.
