When it comes to polypropylene pipe fusion, space is often limited. That’s why McElroy created the Pit Bull 618, a comprehensive fusion unit designed for confined environments. Constructed with a separate carriage, heater, insulated heater stand and Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU), the Pit Bull 618 is extremely versatile. The carriage alone can fuse medium-diameter pipes from 8 inches to 18 inches (200mm to 450mm), and the four-jaw carriage can be easily converted to a three-jaw carriage for even more compact fusion. If you need a wheeled or track-mounted vehicle, the Pit Bull 618 can be conveniently fitted onto McElroy’s wheeled...
