compound propylene pipe in the following order:

  1. alerting special soldering iron (set of nozzles, heated to 260 ° C) and the preparation of soldered pieces for welding.
  2. Laying of pipes and connections to the unit.
  3. Fixing of the parts to complete the solidification of molten layers of the end of the pipe and fitting.

Sure, when you start the welding process, there are many issues and difficulties.But then we'll look at some common mistakes and reveal the secrets used by experienced craftsmen during installation.

Preparing for assembly and soldering

Before cooking polypropylene pipes, you should be prepared for welding.This will require to stock all the necessary tools.Before the start of welding all equipment is tested for readiness for construction, integrity and availability.

tools required:

  • appliance to connect plastic pipes with a set of nozzles;
  • Cutter;
  • pencil, measuring tape.

Welding instruction polypropylene pipes

Step 1: Preparatory work

Before starting welding, it is necessary to prepare a "battlefield": dismantling the old system, to clear the place of installation, set the valves and, in fact, prepare yourself pipes.First, using a pipe cutter cut portion of the desired length, the calibration is done to make a hole, caliber chamfered on the outside surface.

Step 2: preparation of equipment for welding

welding device is mounted on a work surface and securely.Then, a special bus two nozzles are attached metal: Pipe (with a hole) and socket (the rod).Once this is done, the device connected to the network and is heated to 260 degrees.He is considered to be ready for use when the lights corresponding to the light sensor.

Step 3: welding technology

Before you start using the machine, it is necessary to calculate the warm-used parts.Calculation is performed based on the table data, taking into account the diameter of the welded components and the heating time.The table can be found in the set of each device component soldering.

How to cook polypropylene pipes properly?

  1. clutch is mounted on the rod-tip, and pipe - in the second nozzle niche.It starts heating Stroydetali contact elements have solder 6 to 10 seconds depending on the nozzle diameter.
  2. When the previous operation has been completed, it is necessary to lay the pipe into the fitting.This operation is carried out in one motion without rotation element assembly.Using a pencil mark the depth of pre-made pressing the two parts.Combining all the elements of molecular structures realized in 5-10 seconds.Minimum fixing and holding the welded assembly occurs over 10-15 seconds.
  3. final stage - hardening of the formed weld for 2-3 minutes.Ready node recommend that you wait and not to change the relative position of its parts to each other.


Plastic pipes are one of the most convenient, targeting the construction of water supply and heating networks due to its high temperature resistance, a unique anti-corrosion, thermal and mechanical properties.

They are convenient due to its simple and requires no special installation skills.Almost anyone can learn how to cook for polypropylene pipes and try to do it with their own hands.
