Screw-in Tube Menders
Screw-in menders must be installed with the Driver Tool. The menders are joined with a
threaded collar much the same as a typical pipe union. See following diagram.

Fusion Butt Welding
Another way to repair a polyethylene tube that is in good condition is by fusion welding.
This method requires special welding equipment and will return the tube back to its original
condition if done properly. Tubes that are old or badly worn may be difficult or impossible
to weld.
Caution! Tube must cure at least 12 hours after welding. The tube may
separate if it is not allowed to cure properly. Machine damage or
personal injury may occur if the tube suddenly separates.
To have the tube fusion welded, contact your Kifco dealer or call Kifco, Inc.
and ask for customer service.
