COUPLING INCLUDING MEANS FOR IDENTIFYING HEAT-SEALABLE FITTINGS HAVING A SOCKET (8)

摘要

A coupling device (1) for use with an electrofusion fitting (14) so as to identify the fitting and to provide an indication of the period of time for which such fittings should be electrically energized to provide a satisfactory bond to thermoplastic pipes, the device comprising relatively rotatable parts (2) and (3) which are brought into register with fixed identification locations (18) and (19) on the fitting, and when in register automatically select an electrical parameter which is representative of that particular fitting and the energization period required.
