Aquasol ^® Purge Paper and Water Soluble Paper Tape: How it Works

Step 1: Clean area to be welded.	Clean area to be welded with wire brush.	Wipe area with a saturated cloth - such as EZ Wipes by Aquasol. Wait approximately two minutes for cleaning agents to evaporate.	EZ Wipes feature a two-sided cleaning fabric, an abrasive side to loosen dried on surface contaminants, and a smooth side to reveal a cleaner, polished surface.
Step 2: Construct Dam.	Trace the pipe's inner diameter on the paper by pressing against the pipe to create an impression of the pipe.	Cut Aquasol Paper into a circle with a diameter about 1.3 times the inner diameter of the pipe.	Slit approximately 1" to 2" segments perpendicular to impression on paper. Do not exceed inner diameter circle.
Step 3: Insert Dam and tape in place.	Insert dam 6-8" from root gap with the lip toward the weld preparation.	Tape dam in place.	Repeat Step 2. Insert and tape dam on opposite pipe.
Step 4: Introduce gas and weld.	Cover root gap with EZ Zone Tape, a contaminant-free gas retaining tape.	Insert purge gas needle into root gap. Ensure connection to gas line.	Introduce noble gas and start welding.
Step 5: Dissolve Aquasol Water Soluble Purge Dam.	Simulation of hydro-test (flushing line).
