Burning Behaviour
When exposed to an open fire,
polybutylene will burn brightly and will
continue to burn after the source of fire
is removed. The fire gases and smoke
will smell similar to wax or paraffin. It
produces low smoke emmissions. When
the fire is extinguished, it will smell similar
to a blown-out candle.

Warning
It is important to remember that the
whole heater plate is hot, not just

important to prevent the heater plate
coming into contact with nearby
plastic pipes and fittings as it will melt
them.

It is important to use the timer. The

Fusing Electrofusion
spigots onto fitting
It is easier to put the electrofusion
spigot onto a piece of pipe prior to
fusing. Tighten the screws to hold it in
place.
Note.
With small reduction changes
i.e. 25mm reduced to 20mm it is
difficult to tell which side of the
fitting is reducing. Do not melt
the side of the fitting with printed
writing on. The other side has a
pre-moulded chamfer.

Tools
Electrofusion control unit is a fully
automatic unit for fusing pipe and
electrofusion fittings together, it
can operate at either 240 volts or
110 volts. This is suitable for fusing
all electrofusion joints from 16mm
110mm.
Preparing the
electrofusion control unit
for use
The electrofusion control is small and
relatively light weight device and is
designed for ease of transportation
around site.
Internally it is a complicated electrical
device and can easily be broken
or develop a fault if dropped. Care
The electrofusion control unit
is portable must be taken when in use to always
place it on a flat and level surface
where it is unlikely to be knocked off
or damaged.
Note
Do not handle the inside of the
fitting after cleaning it as your
hand will dirty the fitting and it

The electrofusion sockets are
available in all sizes from 16 to
110mm. They normally have the full

Over Insertion
This is caused when jointing the pipe
is inserted too far into the heater
bush and/or too far into the fitting.
In both cases the insertion mark on
the outside of the pipe will have
disappeared.
Under Insertion
This occurs in the fusion process when
the pipe is not inserted far enough
into the heater bush and/or too little
into the fitting.
In both cases the insertion mark on
the outside of the pipe will be over
3mm away from the fitting.

its full distance into the fitting, there
will only be one bead of excess P.B.

it is chamfered.

Over chamfering will not result in
instant leaks within the pipes. It may
reduce the life expectancy and

The solution is to chamfer the pipe a
little less, so the end of the pipe after
chamfering appears to have a wall

This is usually where INSTAFLEX is left

It can be seen that the pipe wall

Dirty joints are visible after a joint has
