IMPORTANT! Describes advice and other useful information! Areas of Application FRIALEN ® Safety Fittings are used for weld joints at pressure pipes made of polyethylene in the dimensions SDR 17.6 to SDR 11 for use in gas and water supply, pressure drainage, industry and landfill construction.
® FRIALEN Safety Fittings consist of PE 100 and meet the requirements according to DIN 16963-5, -7, EN 1555-3, EN 12201-3, EN 13244-3, ISO 8085-3 as well as the DVGW test bases. FRIALEN ® Safety Fittings can ® be fused with FRIAMAT Electrofusion Units at ambient temperatures between - 10 °C and + 45 °C.

These data on component traceability can be electronically archived together with the fusion process data. IMPORTANT! Manual electrofusion units (without barcode reader), e.g. FWS 225, are no longer state-of-the art. Processing of FRIALEN ® Safety Fittings with these units is thus no longer possible.
The design factor C (calculation coefficient for PE components) depends on the area of application and the specifications (min. 1.25). Fitting material: PE 100 Water ® (FRIALEN standard) SDR Stage maximum operating pressure maximum operating pressure in bar for new: C = 1.25...

(e.g. moisture, frost formation). Do not touch the fusion zone again after scraping. WARNING! ® FRIALEN Safety Fittings with integrated heating coils guarantee optimal heat transfer through their exposed heating coils and may thus not be scraped at the inside of the fitting.

The cleaning agent must be completely evaporated before starting the fusion process. ® Now, using the FRIALEN marker, re-mark the line (approx. 120 ° distri- buted around the circumference) to show the width of the fusion zone on the pipe since this will have been removed by scraping and cleaning.

The obtained actual fusion time is to be compared with the target fusion time on the unit and to be ® noted on the pipe or the FRIALEN Safety Fitting (See Figure 12). With this identification it is ensured that no fusion point is overlooked.
Saddle parts - Top Loading ® FRIALEN TL saddle parts are used with pipes from SDR 17 to SDR 11 from d 250 mm. The processing occurs with the FRIATOP Clamping Unit (Figure 15b).

5.1.1 Measuring of fusion zone of the pipes (and the lateral outlet spigot), marking and removing oxide layer The fusion zone: is the area of pipe covered by the saddle; for a side outlet it is the insertion depth on the smooth pipe spigot.

5.1.2 Cleaning The surfaces of the pipes to be fused and the interior surfaces of the ® FRIALEN DAA-TL Pressure Tapping Tees Top-Loading must be absolutely clean, dry and free from any grease. These areas are to be cleaned with a suitable cleaning agent and exclusively with absorbent, lint-free and non-dyed paper directly before the assembly and after scraping.

The fusion fitting is to be removed from the packaging only directly before the planned processing. The packaging protects the fittings against external influences during transport and storage. 5.1.3 Assembly - Place the saddle onto the prepared surface of the pipe. - Fit the adapter of the FRIATOP clamping device (Figure 15a).
