removed from the tool; any attempts to straighten or otherwise alter the joint after
this time will break the weld, resulting in a leak. Once inserted, hold the joint under
slight pressure for 15 seconds to ensure the surfaces fuse together well. Do not
stress the joint until fully cooled to ambient. Do NOT douse cooling joints with cold
water.
Cleaning & Maintenance
Step 10
Clean any melted material from the tool heads with a cotton rag. Do NOT use any abra-
sive materials or tools like screwdrivers to clean off tool heads. Doing so will damage
the teflon coating and the heads themselves, making subsequent fusions more difficult.

Notes
Satisfactory installation requires careful measurement.
All thermal socket fusion joint components must be kept clean prior to and during
assembly. Mud, dirt, cement dust or other foreign matter in joints is the most com-
mon cause of failure.
Successful thermal socket fusion is the result of the correct combination of heat
and time. Attempts to speed up the process by cheating on how long components
remain on the tool heads, fusing before the tool is up to the correct temperature,
or trying to cool joints rapidly, will all result in poor fusions with a greater likelihood
of failure when pressure tested.
Always protect the fusion tool from external factors that will strip heat from it: cold
weather, wind, heating plate/tool head contact with cold surfaces.
Trying to cool down the fusion tool by immersing in water will destroy the tool and
void the warranty.
