Shortening pipes<br />

Attenti<strong>on</strong> must be paid to the ability <strong>of</strong> pipes to be cut (see p. 111).<br />

Pipes which can be cut are identified by a lengthwise white stripe or the letters „SR“<br />

printed <strong>on</strong> the end-face <strong>of</strong> the socket.<br />

If pipes have to be shortened <strong>on</strong> site, the welding bead needed for the BLS ® restrained<br />

joint has to be applied using an electrode laid down by the manufacturer. The welding<br />

work is to be carried out as directed in DVS Merkblatt 1 02.<br />

The size <strong>of</strong> the bead and its distance from the inserting end are to be as shown in the<br />

table below.<br />

Copper clamping ring<br />

To ensure that the welding bead is properly made and uniform, a copper clamping ring<br />

must be fastened in place <strong>on</strong> the inserting end to enable the welding bead to be applied<br />

at the correct distance from the end (see table).<br />

The z<strong>on</strong>e in which the weld is made must be bright metal. C<strong>on</strong>taminants or zinc coatings<br />

must be removed by filing or grinding.<br />

Once the copper clamping ring has been removed, the cut edge at the inserting end<br />

must be restored to the original form and both it and the regi<strong>on</strong> occupied by the welding<br />

bead must be cleaned. Finally, these regi<strong>on</strong>s must be provided with the appropriate<br />

protective coating.<br />
