Abstract
A unit for belling PVC-O thermoplastic pipe includes: a forming pad for deforming into bell shape an end of the pipe, the pad having a longitudinal central axis of symmetry and a region for housing an annular gasket to be coupled, internally, to the pipe; an annular contact element fitted slidably on said pad to move along the direction of the axis, between an advanced position contacting the gasket, and a withdrawn position. A first heating device heats the contact element to a predetermined temperature by contacting an inner surface of the end portion of the pipe fitted on the annular contact element. A second heating device externally heats the pipe fitted on the pad, in a predetermined zone of the pad at the end of the pipe.
