How to peel pipe ends for electrofusion welding

Pipe peeling tools remove the oxide layer on PE pipes. This is an important step in preparing for electrofusion welding.

The key to quality long-lasting welds is to use the right tools. There are several types of peeling tools. This demonstration shows how a PLASSON pipe end peeler is used.

Once the pipe ends have been peeled, the peel should be check to confirm enough of the outer layer has been removed to ensure a quality weld.
