This heavy duty fusion unit is comprised of three main components. The clamp fixture, part number 6200, is responsible for securing and aligning the pipe. It is constructed primarily of aluminum with a steel crank assembly. Hardened steel is used for the pin and locking assembly to increase longevity. Four linear roll bearings provide smooth movement on the chromoly shafts.

Gorlitz’s fusion unit is capable of fusing 2", 3", 4" and 6" pipe. Aluminum inserts can be quickly added or changed with a single bolt.

The heat iron, part number 6300, melts the pipe allowing them to be 'fused' together. A thermo switch is factory set to keep three internal heaters at 500 degrees fahrenheit. Teflon coating ensures a non-stick surface while a large wooden handle helps provide for an easy grip. The build-in temperature gauge provides accuracy and easy readability.

Trimming and squaring of the pipe is done with the facing tool, part number 6400. Large sliding guides provide smooth movement and stability. Outside discs rotate on large diameter air craft type bearings for concentricity. Power is provided by a Milwaukee tool rotating the hardened steel blades at 100 RPM.
