So what is electrofusion and how do you train to become an installer?

Electrofusion courses, which are also known by the Unit of Competency Code PMBWELD302E, and they teach you to join polythylene (PE) plastic pipes using heating elements which are embedded into special electrofusion fittings.

Completing a PMBWELD302E course is mandated for those using electrofusion in the installation of water, waste water and gas pipelines in Australia.  A PMBWELD302E teaches the best practice steps for pipe preparation, welding parameters, safety and quality control with both theory and hands-on practice.

These 1-2 day courses, which can also be combined with butt welding, prepare installers for both field and factory installations.  

Upon successful completion of the Unit of Competency, students receive a Statement of Attainment for PMBWELD302E – join polyethylene plastic pipelines using electrofusion welding.
