Posted by Ben Murphy on
SETTING THE FUSING PRESSURE
Calculating the FUSING pressure is easily done using the McElroy McCalc® app. The app can be downloaded from McElroy’s website at www.mcelroy.com/mccalc. Once the app is downloaded, follow the steps listed below:
- Use the McElroy McCalc app to calculate the FUSING pressure.
- Shift the SELECTOR VALVE down into the FUSING position.
- Close the carriage.
- When the pipe ends have come together, adjust the FUSING PRESSURE REDUCING VALVE until the gauge shows the calculated FUSING pressure.
