Technical data

1) Equipment Needed:
1. Top Load Clamp
2. Top Load Clamp Fitting Adapters
3. Electrofusion Processor
4. Sure-Form Scraper
5. 8”, 10” or 12” Electrofusion Saddle Fitting
6. Permanent Marker
7. Re-Rounding Clamps (if necessary)
2) Place fitting on pipe and mark area to be scraped. If the pipe
iis out-of-round use re-rounding devices on both sides of the area
to be fused before proceeding.
3) Using a scraping tool, remove the outer layer of pipe in
order to reach virgin material.
4) If installing a Tapping Tee, remove the cap from fitting.
5) Taking care not to contaminate the scraped pipe surface,
attach the Top Load Clamp and Fitting to the pipe. Hold the
fitting in place and lower the cross bar. Then lock in place.
NOTE: Clamp weight may need to be supported if fusing to
areas other than the 12 o’clock position on the pipe.
6) Begin applying pressure to the fitting by turning the handle
clockwise.
7) Tighten until indicator post located in the center of the
handle is flush with the top of the handle.
CAUTION: Over/Under tightening could result in defec-
tive joints.
8) Attach leads and verify fusion time.
9) Press Start button on Electrofusion Processor
10) Upon completion of the fusion cycle, allow the fitting to cool
for recommended cooling time. DO NOT remove the clamp until
the fusion cycle and the cooling cycle are complete.
NOTE: Tapping Tees must remain immobile until it has properly
cooled. Outlets may be prepared prior to the Tapping Tee installa-
tion or at least 10 minutes after the Tapping Tee has been fused to
the pipe.

8”, 10” and 12” Electrofusion
Saddle Fittings can be accom-
plished at a temperature range of -
