Rating of the best soldering irons for polypropylene pipes

A device for welding polypropylene pipes, more often called a soldering iron, sometimes an iron. It really has a lot in common with a household iron:

  • heating surface, similar, in some products, to an iron leg (xiphoid);
  • thermostat;
  • powerful electric heater;
  • a pen.

The heating surface of the devices can be cylindrical (rod). Such devices are more compact. They are more convenient to use in hard-to-reach places, since the nozzles can be placed on the heating element at any angle.
