Being professionally trained by an authorized manufacturer’s electrofusion trainer and installing electrofusion fittings following the manufacturer’s qualified procedures, is not only a requirement, but also the key to successful electrofusion joint assembly and fusion. As an electrofusion manufacturer, Integrity Fusion Products understands the importance of providing impactful factory electrofusion training to the market segments we serve.
At Integrity Fusion Products, we have a longstanding commitment to excellence in the field of HDPE manufacturing. However, we also realize that supplying quality fittings means little if the individuals installing them are not properly trained.
For years, we have provided “in person” manufacturer’s electrofusion training and qualification, and we will continue to offer these important training options to all of our valued customers. But now, for the first time, we are pleased to offer our customers the same comprehensive electrofusion training experience in a convenient online platform we call Integrity Fusion Academy.
We have had literally hundreds of Fusion Technicians throughout the US and Canada successfully complete this online program. Along with proper installation procedures, the electrofusion courses Integrity Fusion Academy offers include a number of other pertinent sessions that provide professional Fusion Technicians with a much broader understanding of those things that can have an impact on an electrofusion joint assembly: such as the characteristics of polyethylene, what are the essential tools required for a successful installation, a detailed look at the IFuse processors and their necessary power requirements. Our goal in the design of our electrofusion courses was not only to provide a thorough and comprehensive training experience, but to keep the user engaged as well. Whether in-house at our Peachtree City location, on site at a Distributor’s facility, or in-field with a Distributor sponsored contractor.
Our new on-line Level 1 program will focus on the proper equipment and installation practices for couplers 12″ and smaller, branch saddles, and flex restraints.
This on-line course consists of a selective series of self guided coursework and videos that will allow the student to master the content at their own pace, with quizzes at the end of each lesson designed to ensure maximum retention of course material. Finally, mandatory homework assignments provide an opportunity to put this knowledge to the test by means of an installation demo for couplers and branch saddles, which the student will then photographically document and submit for evaluation.
As excited as we are about our Level 1 course, this is only the beginning. For advanced installers, Level 2 electrofusion training is just around the corner, and many training topics geared towards non-installers will soon become available as well. So stay tuned!
