ENGLISH 13
When the heating element is heating up the yellow control light will be lit. When reaching the
adjusted temperature the yellow light flashes.
After another 10 minutes the heating element is ready for operation.
Very hot – Do not touch! The heating element can reach a temperature of
approx.280°C!
3.2.2 Preparations for welding
 The end of the pipe is to be chamfered as shown in fig 1 and set out in Table 1.
 The connection area of the pipe is to be machined as specified by the manufacturer of the
shaped piece.
 Make the insertion depth at the end of the pipe over a distance as set out in table 1.
The inside of the shaped piece is to be cleaned thoroughly with a degreasing agent
(for example methylated spirits) and a non-fibrous paper.
Check weather conditions!
3.2.3 Welding
 Move the pipe and shaped piece quickly and axially to the mark on the heating arbour and
jack fitted on the heating element and fix them in place.
 Keep them secure for the heating time as shown in tables 2-4.
 After the elapse of the heating time, pull the pipe and shaped pipe out of the heating arbour
and jack quickly and push them together up to the mark immediately without turning them
(positioning time shown in tables 2-4).
 Hold the connection tight for the time shown in tables 2-4 and then allow it to cool.
The weld must not be stressed by further installation work until after the elapse of
the cooling time!
 After each weld the heating arbour and jack should be cleaned with non-fibrous paper and, if
necessary, methylated spirits.
The welding parameters shown in the tables are only guide values for which ROTHENBERGER
cannot accept any guarantee! The parameters recommended by the pipe and shaped piece
manufacturer must be obtained fort he specific materials.
