A soldering iron for welding plastic pipes is far from everyone, but to take it for rent or buys it for several connections it is impractical. In this case, you can do the usual gas burner, which costs less, besides, it is often simple in stock. This method of extreme welding is also useful if there is no socket nearby to connect a soldering iron, or it cannot be reached in a hard-to-reach place.
What will take:
- gas-burner;
- Tight gloves.
The process of welding pipes with a burner without a soldering iron
Preparation for welding burner is similar to the use of the soldering iron. Pipes and fittings should be clean, dry, preferably low-fat in the connection site. Next, the burner is lit and a small torch is exhibited on it. First you need to warm up the coupling, square, crane or tee. The flame is heading right inside, while the fitting is constantly scrolling in the hand. As soon as the plastic softened, it begins to float or smoke, the item moves down.
Immediately it is necessary to start heating the pipe. If there is no possibility to turn it, it is necessary to warm from the end leading a torch in the circle of the outer walls.
At this time, preheated fitting should be kept closer to heat so that it does not cool down. But only the pipe begins to go on, the details are joined and held a couple of seconds for welding.
In extreme conditions, this method you can solder pipes that will work under pressure, but for this you need to be pre-acted for determining the optimal heating time. It is impossible to overheating the pipes in order not to make the muzzle narrowing of the diameter. For soldering of pipes in the manufacture of various homemade, where tightness is not important, you can solder without preparation.
