UPP® PIPE ELECTROFUSION WELDING: C A B L E
UPP® PIPE ELECTROFUSION WELDING: B R I D G I N G
CHART
Connect the leads from the welding unit to the fittings per the chart below. The leads
should fit firmly. It is very important to use the correct cable. Before pushing the
start button, the welder must show a GREEN ready light. Hold the start button down
momentarily and then release it.
After the welder is turned on, press the start button to begin the welding process.
The weld time is determined by the welder and no further input is required. The
welder display will show welding progress.
Once completed it is good practice to write the time on the fitting to determine
when clamps can be removed. Wait 20 minutes for the weld to cool before removing
clamps. Always reset the welder between welds by depressing and holding the start
button for 3 seconds.

NOTES:
A maximum of three primary couplers or primary electrofusion fittings may be welded
at the same time by using bridging leads. Most electrofusion couplers and fittings have
a resistance index number marked onto them inside a circle: i.e. 6. The total value of
the index number of the three items to be welded must not exceed 10. If the fitting
lacks a resistance index number then it must be treated as having an index number of
3. The 303 entry fittings have a resistance number of 3, so 3 can be welded at one time.
A list of resistance numbers can be seen in the following table.
