It is recommended all Tega brand electrofusion fitting be installed using a Strongbridge - Tega electrofusion processor. All Tega brand electrofusion fittings must be fused using a universal multi-voltage (8 48 VAC) fusion processor having an output capacity of 80 amps and equipped with a temperature compensating feature. Power to be supplied through a portable power generator rated at 6500 watts (minimum) and operating at 220-240 VAC. Pipe more than 1.5% out of round requires the use of a suitable re-round clamp to ensure proper fit. Any gaps between pipe and fitting in excess of 1mm must be closed prior to fusion taking place. Pipes and fitting must be aligned with no stress on fitting before fusion can occur. Any misalignment must be corrected using pipe alignment equipment before proper electrofusion can occur.

Installation of Tega brand electrofusion fittings may only be carried out by properly trained and qualified technicians and/or by witness of an authorized factory representative.

In all cases installation instructions of represented products, available upon request, must be adhered to. Failing to follow such installation instructions, which may change from time to time without notice, will void any and all warranties.

TEGA electrofusion fittings may be fused at ambient temperatures of between 0°C (+32°F) and +45°C (+115°F). If job site conditions are such that the pipe and fitting temperature is below this range, the installer should use a tent and heater to warm the pipe and electrofusion fitting to within the allowable temperature range. Special care should be taken to provide a balanced temperature level of both pipes and fittings before fitment and fusion operation
