Portable Socket Fusion Alignment Tool
The Welping Portable Socket Fusion Alignment Tool is a manually operated fixture for plastic pipe socket fusion welding. Adjustable clamps and handwheel-controlled axial movement help keep pipes and fittings stable during heating and joining.
Suitable for PPR, PE, PP, PB and PVDF pipes, the tool can be used on a workbench or for suitable in-position welding applications with the removable base. Socket fusion heaters and heating sockets are sold separately.
Why Use a Socket Fusion Alignment Tool? —
Manual socket fusion can be affected by unstable hand movement, poor alignment, or uneven joining force. This alignment tool helps hold the pipe and fitting in position and provides controlled axial movement, making the welding process easier to manage, especially for repeated work or larger pipe sizes.
Stable Alignment
Keeps pipes and fittings properly positioned for a more controlled socket fusion process.
Controlled Axial Movement
The handwheel allows smoother joining movement and helps reduce unstable manual pushing.
Adjustable Clamping Width
The clamp opening can be adjusted for different pipe and fitting sizes.
Removable Base
The base can be removed for suitable in-position welding applications.
Large Manual Handwheel
The large manual handwheel controls the smooth movement of the outer movable clamping unit, while the adjustable clamping knobs help fit different pipe and fitting sizes.
Stable Clamping Jaws
The shaped clamping jaws help hold pipes and fittings securely during alignment, heating, and joining.
1. Clamp the pipe and fitting
Secure the pipe and fitting in the adjustable clamping jaws.
2. Mark the insertion depth
Mark the required insertion depth on the pipe before heating.
3. Heat the pipe and fitting
Use the socket fusion heating tool and heating sockets to heat both ends.
4. Join with controlled movement
Turn the handwheel to move the clamp smoothly and complete the joining process.
Socket fusion heating tools, heating sockets, and pipe cutters are available as optional accessories for a more complete socket fusion welding setup.
Socket Fusion Heating Tool
Used for heating plastic pipes and fittings before socket fusion joining. Heating sockets can be selected according to the pipe size and material.
Pipe Cutter
Helps cut plastic pipes cleanly before welding, making pipe preparation easier and improving the overall operation efficiency.
Frequently Asked Questions —
Is the socket fusion heater included?
No. The socket fusion heater and heating sockets are sold separately.
How is the clamping width adjusted?
The clamping width is adjusted manually using the black star-shaped knobs.
How does the movable clamp travel?
The large handwheel controls the axial movement of the outer movable clamping unit.
Does the tool control the insertion depth?
No. The required insertion depth should be marked manually before welding.
Can the tool be used on installed pipes?
Yes. The orange base can be removed for suitable in-position welding applications.
Does the tool require electricity?
No. The tool is fully manually operated.
Choose the correct alignment tool, socket fusion heater and heating sockets according to your pipe material, diameter and project requirements.
