Feed the welding rod into the welder The Injectiweld Model W30000 accepts 0.156-inch (4mm) diameter welding rod. The feed is automatic once the welding rod is properly fed into the welder. • Turn the rod release knob until the knob feels tight. This opens the rod drive wheels and allows them to accept welding rod.
Make Welds Fillet Welds Fillet tips are used mainly for fillet welds [90º] and butt welds. The style of those tips allows one to weld from inside corners out and be able to seal the corners without changing to another tip style. Fillet tips can also be used for crack repairs, as long as the crack is somewhat straight.
7. Proper Welding Techniques – General Considerations Consider these variables when welding plastics. Material In order to achieve quality welds, ensure that the welding rod matches the parent material. For example, match polyethylene with polyethylene rod and match polypropylene with polypropylene rod. Do not expect a quality weld if the parent material and welding rod do not match.
