Virax P160 B PRO BASIC Manuel D'utilisation page 26

P160 – P250 - P355 B PRO BASIC : consisting of six wide-surface shells and two small-surface
shells
P500 - P630 B PRO BASIC : consisting of six wide-surface shells and two small-surface
shells (for diameters up to 450 mm) or 8 wide-surface shells (for diameters >500 mm).
In so doing, please observe that the small-surface shells are mounted to the two lower
external main clamps. These are used in the left basic clamping element below and above
only for pipe to pipe bend connections.

Insert the plastic pipe or fitting in the clamping device (use dolly with longer pipe < 2,5m
sections) and tighten brass nut on the upper clamps. Adjust brass nuts (tighten or loosen) to
compensate for any ovalness.
Pipe / Fitting P160 B PRO BASIC :
 For pipe-to-fitting connections, the two spacers must be engaged
in both middle clamping elements.
Attention: Under no circumstances should the spacers be
installed diagonally offset!
 The pipe is inserted into three clamping elements, and the fitting is held by one clamping
element. Thus, the movable clamping element can be shifted on the rod as space requirements
demand during clamping.
Pipe / Fitting P250 – 355 B PRO BASIC :
 For pipe-to-fitting connections, the two spacers must be engaged
in both middle clamping elements, and the heating element take-
off device is suspended into the left clamping elements.
Attention: Under no circumstances should the spacers be
installed diagonally offset!
 The pipe is inserted into three clamping elements, and the fitting is held by one clamping element.
Thus, the movable clamping element can be shifted on the rod as space requirements demand during
clamping.
When some fittings are being processed in certain positions, such as horizontal bends or welding
necks, it is necessary to remove the heating element take-off device.
Pipe / Fitting P500 – 630 :
 For pipe-to-fitting connections, the spacers must be swivelled to
the other side and engaged in the middle clamping elements.
Attention: Under no circumstances should the spacers be
installed diagonally offset!
 The pipe is inserted into three clamping elements, and the fitting is held by one clamping element.
