Technological process of soldering

necessary tools and materials.

Pike plastic pipes - process simple, because the main feature of plastic, in addition to the strength and durability, a low melting point.Enough to have an ordinary electric soldering iron and can be without special equipment to interconnect the two elements.

sequence of this type of work as follows:

• Electric soldering iron is heated for 5 minutes to about 260 degrees of temperature;
• With a soldering iron to the edge of the tube, heat it to the desired state, and quickly presses for bonding;
• Suffice it to wait 5-8 minutes to cool the plastic and get a solid product.

This method is very convenient when you need to replace or repair the portion of the aqueduct and sewage that has been damaged.Enough to cut off the damaged area with a special knife and solder a new one.

Any commencement of work is accompanied by the acquisition of the necessary tools and supplies required for implementation of the task.

main instrument, without which it can not do - it is above a soldering iron, which is connected to the mains.Purchase of such equipment is not cheap, so you can rent or borrow.Do not forget to read the instructions, which will give you information about how the connector and the temperature of the warm-up you need.Do not forget also about the compliance with safety when using the appliance.

In addition you will need a soldering iron:

• Special sharp knife or a saw blade (hacksaw) for cutting the plastic;
• Measuring instruments (vernier caliper, measuring tape), as well as a marker or pencil;
• Heat-resistant gloves to protect your hands from burns;
• liquid for degreasing surfaces (petrol, white spirit, etc.)

Phased execution of works.

Before you start soldering process itself, check carefully the place where you work, the availability of the location of pipes, as well as all necessary tools.Do not forget to cut off the water in the water.

next step - training section of the pipeline, which includes the cleaning of pipes, fitting and dock design elements.

consider in more detail the process of preparing and soldering of plastic pipes:

• Tubes must be wiped dry and cut at the place needs to be replaced;
• With nazhdachki or knife to smooth the cut edges;
• sure to make measurements to determine the diameter and wall thickness of the pipe, they affect the selection of the desired temperature;
• With soldering apparatus, which is mounted in a special nozzle of suitable diameter, melt resulting slices and gently dock them together, fix this situation for some time, but rather to full cooling of the resulting weld.Hands should be while wearing gloves;
• seam quality is easily identified by a small uniform convexity, which was formed over the entire circumference of the pipe.

After 30 minutes, you can safely start using running water.

Additional recommendations.

order to process soldering plastic pipes has been successful, especially if you do it the first time, we recommend you follow these simple guidelines:

• Try to observe the correct sequence of operations;
• all the necessary details to keep at arm's length, so you can at any time take the right;
• Keep in the presence of an extension cord, in order to, if necessary, connect it to the soldering iron;
• Observe temperature and time modes, this you will ensure the quality of the work done.
