Features
.
Chemical and Acid-Resistant (FRPP-210) Polypropylene meets ASTM F1412,
NSF-cw, UPC, and CSA standards - Peace-of-Mind.
. Single
fittings for both mechanical and fusion joints - The Zurn system, utilizing
a combination fitting for both Fusion Lock T and mechanical joining methods,
is a patent pending system - reduces handling costs, avoids job site delays,
sim-plifies inventory.
. The unique
Zurn Fusion Lock T system eliminates the need for additional clamp-ing
during installation - no clamps are necessary so you don't have to go back
and tighten clamps after fusing - simplifies installation, decreases errors,
saves money!
. Machine
automatically senses the connection size(s) and delivers the corresponding
power to fuse a quality joint - installer does not have to set the machine
to the proper size before fusing - eliminates operator error and ensures
joint integrity!
. Multiple
joints may be connected in a series, up to the specified maximum - shortens
installation time and saves money.
. Multiple
joints, of different sizes, can be fused simultaneously without resetting
the fusion machine - reduces installation time and saves money!
. If welding
is interrupted during fusing, the cycle can be restarted and the unit will
compensate for time interrupted to complete the joint - simplifies installation
and ensures joint integrity!
. The Zurn
fusion unit will automatically compensate, incrementally, for job site
temperature (hot or cold) conditions to reach ideal fusing temperature
- ensures joint integrity! (See page 5 for additional Fusion Lock T Machine
features.)
. Zurn's
manufacturing facility is both NSF Standard-14 and Standard-61 compliant.
Zurn Fusion Lock
T Installation and Operating Instructions
Power input
requirements: 115 Volts AC, 7.5 amps, 60 Hz. The unit will be ready to
operate after turning on and short 'self-test' is completed.
Making the Zurn
Fusion Lock T Joint Connection
A Fusion
Lock joint connection is simply and quickly accomplished by doing the following
.
1. Cut pipe
square and de-burr ends.
2. Insert
Fusion Lock T seal into joint and rotate leads to desired easy access position.
Push leads inward and hand tighten locking nut onto fitting. Then push
leads outward to make sufficient room for pipe. Remember:
There is no need for an additional band clamp.
3. Insert pipe
into joint assembly completely and finish tightening the nut 1/4 to 1/2
additional turn using spanner wrench.
4.
Turn on the welder box, it is protected by a thermal circuit breaker switch.
There is no need to select the joint size when using the Zurn unit; you
can fuse multiple joints of the same or different size at the same time.
(Note: To do this, joints must be connected in-series.)
5. Connect the
fusion unit clips to the seal leads and press start on either the control
box or the remote control device. Note:
After starting, the unit will per-form a brief system check to ensure the
leads are connected properly, sufficient power is evident, and the maximum
number of simultaneous joints has not been exceeded.
6. Wait while
joint is fusing - the unit display will count down remaining weld time.
The Zurn fusion unit will automatically compensate, incrementally, for
job site temperature (hot or cold) conditions to reach ideal fusing temperature.
7. Upon completion,
an alarm will sound. Remove the leads and move on to the next joint. Remember:
There is no need to go back and further tighten the nuts.
Features of
the Fusion Lock T Machine
. Simple
operation - fully automatic control and timing.
. Multiple
joints may be connected in-series up
to the specified maximum. Joints of different sizes may also be fused simultaneously.
Any combination of pipe sizes can be welded in series. Versatile and fast!
Saves time and money.
. All joints
use the same current (12 amps).
. Even heat
is applied to all sizes of joints, and any number of joints up to stipulated
maximum ensures joint integrity and reduces errors.
. Automatic
compensation for ambient temperature.
. SAFETY!
Lighter weight, more efficient toroid transformer provides line isolation.
. Transformer
and Solid State Relay run cool - no "resting" is necessary - saves installation
time and money.
. Unit is
protected by a 10 amp thermal circuit breaker - equipment protection!
. Power cord
contains 12 amp fuse to protect unit if wired to 230 VAC instead of 115
VAC.
.
Bright color vacuum florescent display - easy to read!
. Automatic
joint integrity detection before starting - saves time and money.
. If welding
is briefly interrupted during fusing, the cycle can be restarted and the,
unit will compensate for time interrupted to complete the joint.
. If joint
is broken for a long period of time during welding, the fusion will be
auto-matically terminated and an alarm will sound.
. Operator
can stop welding if desired.
. Remote
control unit with indicators, on a 28-foot long cord, makes installation
easy.
. Electronics
are shock mounted and fully contained in a UL listed box - protection!
. UL listed
metal box is used to reduce electromagnetic interference, both radiated
and induced.
. Reinforced
power cords and link cables (jumper wires) - durable!
Caution
Although
we have added shock mounts to the electronics and enclosed the components
in a UL listed box, the fusion control unit is a sophisticated electronic
device that should be handled with care. Do not open device! The unit contains
no field serviceable parts. If damaged, please return to Zurn Industries
factory for repair.
Do not disturb
the joint for 5 minutes after the fusing cycle. Joint should cool for 1/2
hour prior to testing.
Do not test
with air. Test only with water.
After testing,
if a leak is detected completely drain the system and re-fuse the joint
per the above instructions.
Warning
Because of
Zurn's unique patent pending system, only Zurn sealing components (nuts
and seals) are compatible with our fittings. Only the Zurn fusion unit
will provide proper welding of Fusion Lock T joints, i.e.
do not use other manufacturer's machines -
you must use the Zurn Fusion Lock T machine during installation.
Zurn fittings
and pipe conform to the highest industry quality standards and meet all
applicable specifications and tolerances. Zurn Industries can only guarantee
that Zurn parts are manufactured to the above standards and strongly recommends
that you do not mix parts with other manufacturer's products.
The Zurn combination
fitting for both mechanical and fusion joining methods is a patent pending
system that offers superior performance. |
