This Vulcathene fusion machine is the ideal unit for fast and efficient connection of Vulcathene pipework from 40mm to 152mm in diameter. Utilising the extreme heat and pressure produced during welding, this unit makes simple, reliable joints between pipes. The heat required to make the joint comes from flowing a constant electrical current through the embedded heater wires within the sleeve fitting, which is placed around the two pipes. The pressure required to make the joint is obtained via the shrinking of the fitting under welding conditions. The shrinking process does not alter the internal bore of the joint because the ends and the centre of the fitting are deliberately kept cool during the welding process. This ensures a strong, reliable professional joint. Once the joint is completed, the heater wires remain encased in the HDPE so there is no chance of corrosion. The connecting sleeve must be fitted evenly between both pipes and the pipes must have clean cut, straight, burr-free edges to provide the most reliable, long-lasting joint.

From 1st April 2022, our suppliers will only fuel machines with white diesel. This is due to new government guidelines.
If you, as the hirer, refuel any equipment while it is in your possession, it must be with WHITE DIESEL.
YOU MUST NOT USE RED DIESEL IN HIRED MACHINES OR EQUIPMENT.
If you return a machine refuelled with rebated diesel, suppliers will have to remove and dispose of the fuel. They must also flush the tank and supply lines before they can refuel them. The process is chargeable, with no exceptions.
Hire Shield is included in every booking. The charge is calculated at checkout.
If you have your own Hired-In Plant Insurance (HIPI), you'll be asked to provide proof after booking. To opt out of Hire Shield, contact us via Live Chat.
