| Compact Handheld Unit | 20–63 mm | Socket fusion with detachable heating dies | 800–1,000 W | 220 V, 50 Hz | Thermostatic control, commonly adjustable to approximately 300°C | 5–10 minutes | Usually 20, 25, 32, 40, 50 and 63 mm | Household plumbing repairs, maintenance and light installation work | Choose a lightweight housing, secure die mounting and a stable stand |
| Standard Portable Unit | 20–110 mm | Socket fusion with interchangeable coated dies | 1,200–1,500 W | 220 V, 50 Hz | Adjustable thermostat, generally suitable for PPR fusion near 260°C | 8–15 minutes | Commonly 20, 25, 32, 40, 50, 63, 75, 90 and 110 mm | Residential water supply, small commercial projects and general contractors | Best balance of coverage, portability and electrical demand |
| High-Power Portable Unit | 20–160 mm | Socket fusion with large-diameter heating dies | 1,500–2,000 W | 220 V, 50 Hz | Thermostatic or electronic temperature control, typically up to about 300°C | 10–18 minutes | Usually 20–160 mm, depending on the supplied die package | Commercial plumbing, building services and larger-diameter PPR work | Verify circuit capacity, die concentricity and heat recovery after each joint |
| Digital-Control Unit | 20–110 mm | Socket fusion with digital temperature display | 1,200–1,500 W | 220 V, 50 Hz | Digital setpoint and measured-temperature display; commonly adjustable around 0–300°C | 8–15 minutes | Typically 20–110 mm | Installations requiring repeatable settings and easier operator monitoring | Check sensor accuracy, display readability and over-temperature protection |
| Heavy-Duty Workshop Unit | 20–160 mm | Socket fusion with reinforced heating plate and replaceable dies | 1,800–2,500 W | 220 V, 50 Hz | Electronic or calibrated thermostat control, commonly used around 260°C for PPR | 10–20 minutes | 20–160 mm, with larger dies often supplied separately | Frequent workshop use, prefabrication and high-volume maintenance | Prioritize heat uniformity, die coating durability and continuous-duty performance |
| Battery-Supported Portable Unit | 20–63 mm | Socket fusion using an integrated battery or external power system | Typically 500–1,000 W equivalent heating output | Model-dependent; often battery-powered with charger | Thermostatic control, generally designed for PPR fusion near 260°C | Variable; commonly longer than corded units | Usually 20–63 mm | Remote repairs, locations without convenient mains power and service work | Compare battery capacity, recharge time, spare-battery availability and total operating time |
