Splicing Technique
A warm-up time of approximately 5
to 10 minutes is necessary to bring the
splicing iron to the required 350°-380°F.
The entire splicing operation involves
three simple steps. Do not allow the
iron to reach 400°F. PVC will degrade
and turn dark. For TPE Waterstop,
preheat iron 380° to 410°F.
Overlap the two pieces of waterstop to
be sliced and then cut with sharp knife
or saw. This assures matching edges.
IMPORTANT: Edges must be cut straight.
Press the straight cut against the sides of
the pre-heated splicing iron until the PVC
melts, an 1/8" to 1/4", thematerial becomes
soft and gummy. This takes approximately
3-5 minutes.
Quickly remove the splicing iron and press
the melted edges together to form a neat
butt-splice. The joined sections should not
be stretched or moved for 1 minute. To
cool the material quickly, use cold water.
Typical spliced sections and the manner
of accomplishing them, are shown above.
