Technical data

(6) Tighten the strap until the restraints are conformed
to the pipe wall. Make sure the Flex Restraint makes
contact with the pipe over the entire fusion area. If
more than one restraint is to be used, make sure that
all fittings are in place before fully tightening the ratchet
straps.
NOTE:
If multiple restraints are to be used, it is helpful to place
the fitting over the scraped area and to secure it in place
with masking tape or duct tape until the strap can be
applied.
(7) Connect the processor leads to the Flex Restraint.
The fusion data is entered into the processor in either
manual mode or bar-code mode. The Flex Restraint is a
temperature compensated fitting. If the data is entered
in manual mode, make sure to set the fusion time as
stated on the card insert provide with each fitting. The
bar-code entry of data automatically sets the fusion
parameters
NOTE:
If using a Model C or a Model U Processor fusion times should be manually
set using the fusion time card packaged with the fitting.
(8) After the fusion cycle is complete, the restraint and clamping de-
vice being used must remain in place and be allowed to cool for 15
minutes. The Flex Restraint should be completely cool before it is sub-
jected to any forces.
CAUTION: The fusion zone of the Flex Restraint gets very hot and it is also a potential
shock hazard! DO NOT TOUCH THE WIRES DURING THE FUSION OR THE COOLING
TIME!
