Heating Element:

• The core function of these tools is to heat the plastic tube and the welding rod (or the surfaces to be welded) to the appropriate temperature for fusion. The tool usually has a heating element or a heated blade that ensures uniform heating for a strong and durable weld.

Temperature Control:

• Plastic tube welding tools often come with adjustable temperature controls to ensure the proper melting point for different types of plastic. Common plastic materials include PVC, HDPE, and PPR, each of which may have specific temperature requirements for welding.

Welding Rod:

• Some plastic welding tools include a welding rod (often made of the same material as the tube being welded), which is melted and fused into the joint to ensure a solid and leak-free connection.

Ergonomic Design:

• Many plastic tube welding tools have ergonomic handles to reduce hand strain during long welding sessions. This makes the tools easier to control and helps improve accuracy and comfort.

Tool Types:

• Hot Air Welders: These use hot air to heat both the plastic tube and the welding rod. They are commonly used for welding thermoplastic materials and are ideal for softening and bonding plastics.
• Extrusion Welders: These feed a plastic rod into the welding area and melt it directly onto the tube for a seamless connection. They are more suited for large pipes or complex joints.
• Butt Welders: Butt welding tools are used to join the ends of two pipes by heating the ends until they are soft and then pressing them together under pressure to form a strong bond.
• Socket Welders: These tools weld the outer surface of one pipe to the inner surface of another pipe by heating the ends and pushing them together.
