HDPE Butt Fusion Machine for Arctic Pipe
HDPE Butt Fusion Machine for Arctic Pipe
(OP)
Does anyone know of a HDPE Butt Fusion Machine that will fuse 6"-10" x 18" HDPE Arctic Pipe without having to strip the CMP Jacket back. I am looking for a light weight machine that is designed for close quarter fusing.





RE: HDPE Butt Fusion Machine for Arctic Pipe
Butt welding machines are generally larger & heavier than those needed for electro fusion fittings and will be harder to use in cramped quarters. Although electro-fusion couplers / fittings are generally more expensive than butt welded joints, they may have some advantages in your situation (cheak for "HDPE pipe fittings" on the net).
Whatever equipment you choose, you may want to try it out inside a cold store just to make sure it will function in artic conditions.
Hope this helps.
