CADWELD EXOLONLOW EMISSION
Developed in 1988, CADWELD EXOLON is a significant advance in welded electrical connections. The
metallurgy is the same as the standard CADWELD connection approved by over 70% of electric utilities in
the USA — but the virtual elimination of visible smoke plus a unique electric starting system makes this
improved process easier and more convenient than ever before.
Most connections listed in this catalog can be ordered in the CADWELD EXOLON configuration. Ordering
information is shown below.
HOW TO ORDER CADWELD EXOLON
1. To order CADWELD EXOLON products,
just specify molds and weld metal from
the catalog and add an “XL” prefix.
Example: TAC2Q2Q becomes
XLTAC2Q2Q, and 150 becomes XL150.
2. If the weld metal shown in the catalog
shows more than one tube required such
as 2-#200, you must specify #XL400 to
get the correct size filters.
Example: XLTAD-4L3Q: XL400
3. The following molds require a price key .
change:
• "C" price key molds using 2-#150
weld metals change to XLD price key.
•"E" price key molds using 2-#150
weld metals change to XLJ price key.
• "H" price key molds using 2-#150
weld metals, contact ERICO.
• "M" price key molds using 2-#150
weld metals change to XLV price key.
• "R" price key molds using 2-#150
weld metals change to XLF price key.
• "T" price key molds, ALL change to
XLP price key.
Example: TAC3Q3Q using 2-#150
weld metals change to XLTAD3Q3Q
using #XL300 weld metal
4. Filters and ignitors are included with
the weld metal. XL filters and ignitors are
not sold separately.
5. The ignitor can be used only once and
then must be discarded. Filters will last
as specified in the instructions supplied
with each mold.
6. A Relia-Start electric starter, part number
XLB971A1 (battery, charger, carrying
case and connecting cable), is required
for XL weld metal. There is no starting
material in the XL weld metal tube.
Batteries operate about 200 starts before
recharging from 120 VAC is required.
The charger, all electrical connections
and instructions are included in the
battery case.
7. Baffle with cover is required for larger
molds. Estimated life of the baffle is 500
welds.
XLB972A1 Baffle is required for molds
using XL200 and XL250 weld metals.
XLB973A1 Baffle is required for molds
using XL300 to XL750 weld metals.
8. For EZ Change Handles, add XL prefix.
(Flint ignitor not included.)
9. Welding Tray, part number XLB974B2,
is used under the mold to protect cables
and equipment from hot materials.
