DESCRIPTION
The Hayes Digital Heating Tool is a 110V plastic pipe welder for socket fusion. It is suitable for joining a variety of thermoplastic pipes and fittings (from 1/2″ CTS to 1″ IPS) for different applications in the industry. This machine can weld pipe made of Polyethylene (PE, HDPE, MDPE), Polypropylene (PPR), Polybutene (PB). The iron has a heat resistant aluminum plate with a digital screen control to adjust the temperature for the most accurate heating temperature. The internal controller can adjust to the environment temperature and it also has an ergonomic handle for ease of use. The heating adapters (male and female) have been coated with 3 layers of non-stick Teflon to reduce polymer adhesion. The chamfering tool works also as a depth gage. It is made of aluminum and it has a stainless steel blade. The cold ring or vice-grip pliers have a solid constructed locking configuration with a 1022 carbon steel ring. This complete tool kit is designed and manufactured according to the American international standard ASTM F2620.
PROCEDURE / APPLICATION
Definition according to the ASTM F2620: The socket fusion technique consists of simultaneously heating both the external surface of the pipe end and the internal surface of the socket fitting to a designated temperature, then fuse them together by application of a sufficient force. Thereby resulting in fusion.
Socket fusion tools consist of a heating tool, heating adapter, cold rings pliers and chamfer/depth gages.

IMPORTANT NOTES
Welding procedure
Skill and knowledge are required to obtain a good quality joint.
- Ensure you select the proper temperature according to the pipe manufacturer’s recommendation.
- It is important to know the technical information before you use your heating tool.
Non-stick coating
The heating adapters have a coated surface that has been treated to reduce polymer adhesion. If the polymer adheres to the heating plate, lightly wipe with a clean cotton cloth to remove. Do not use a wire brush or an abrasive.
Welding parameters
Pipe and fitting manufacturers have established qualified fusion procedures which should be followed precisely. You should obtain a copy of the pipe manufacturer’s procedures or appropriate joining standard for the pipe being fused.
Heating iron temperature
To meet pipe manufacture’s temperature specifications, the surface temperature of the heating adapters should be measured with a surface pyrometer prior to initial use and at reasonable time intervals thereafter.
Ensure you test the temperature on the surface of the heating adapters and not on the heating plate itself. The heater’s built-in thermometer indicates internal temperature and should only be use for reference.
CAUTION
Heating iron
- The heater is to be used with AC power only. Check heater to confirm correct power requirements and only use a power source with the correct voltage and current capacity.
- Connect heating tool to power and permit sufficient preheating to stabilize the temperature before the welding process.
- When welding, if temperature adjustment is needed, please turn off the heating tool first and turn it on again to adjust the new temperature. Adjustment of the temperature when it is already set will damage the temperature control components.
- It is recommended to use an insulated heater bag to store the heating tool when it is hot.

I am a plumber in California. I ordered this kit for a specific job. All I can say is wow, easy to use and came with absolutely everything needed. Needless to say I will be recommending HDPE pipe to all of my clients going forward. Virtually indestructible unlike PVC and the bonus no sticky glue!
