Improved ‡ Fuseal
Fusion Collar
The +GF + Fuseal Process has been
improved through the development of
the +GF + Fuseal fusion collar. The
new fusion collar provides the same
joint as the original +GF + Fuseal coil,
however, it can be made in less time.
The many improved benefits include:
• Fast positive electrical connection
with a duplex clear plug
• Simple insertion of pipe without coil
removal
• Elimination of socket sanding
• Elimination of the temporary band
clamp — clamps are provided with
fusion collars for sizes 1 1/2"–3"
• Rotation of fusion collar allows
exact positioning of the duplex plug
• Ability to dry fit an entire system
prior to fusion

Fuseal LD
Fuseal LD is our large diameter Fuseal
Band Clamp piping system. This is available in 8", 10"
and 12" sizes and it utilizes our original
fusion process. Also made of flame
resistant polypropylene, Fuseal LD offers
all the basic system benefits of Fuseal II.
Fusion Collar
Fuseal MJ
Fuseal MJ is our mechanical joint system.
It is available in sizes 11/2" - 4". This
system is also made of the same flame
retardant material as our Fuseal II
system, however, there is no fusion
process. The joints are mechanically
joined for a nonpermanent joint in easily
accessible locations, such as under sinks.

MSA 250SE
The MSA 250SE represents the most
advanced fusion unit in the industry. This
unit features advanced transformer
technology and can be used with either
network or generator power sources. All
required fusion parameters are
programmed into the MSA 250SE by
simply scanning a barcode specific to
each pipe size. The MSA also has
multiple joint capability, and a built in
fail-safe mode.
