Pit Bull 28
Posted by Ben Murphy on
Compact and portable, the McElroy Pit Bull® carriage is built specifically for pipe fusion in the trenches. Machines are available in multiple configurations to ensure your pipe fusion needs are covered. The Pit Bull 28 machines butt fuse pipe sizes from 2” IPS to 8” DIPS (63mm to 225mm). On tight installations, or to fuse tees, ells, adapters and fittings, the machines can be converted from a 4-jaw to a 3-jaw carriage for an even more compact fusion unit.
The Pit Bull 28 includes the fusion carriage, 8" IPS/DIPS Master inserts, heater, facer, and insulated heater stand. All Pit Bull carriages require 240V Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU), which is sold separately.
