McElroy Parts, the leading manufacturer and innovator of thermoplastic pipe fusion, pipe-handling and quality assurance equipment, continues to innovate with their PitBull 26. This fusion machine is used to fuse polyethylene pipes, ells, tees and other fittings together. Pit Bull fusion machines by McElroy are compact, lightweight and durable in their design.

Depending on the model, the Pit Bull 26 can fuse pipe sizes ranging from 2″ IPS to 6″ DIPS and 63mm to 180mm in diameter. The 26 is equipped with McElroy’s proprietary Centerline Guidance System, a semi-automatic locking cam system that maintains force during the cooling cycle. It is also able to be mounted on the Manual Fusion Machine Stand. The 26 fusion unit features a higher mechanical advantage ratio than the popular PitBull 14, as well as an electric facer with a balancing point handle for quick facing.

The upper jaws and control levers of the Pit Bull 26 fusion machine are reversible, allowing it to be used on either side of the machine. This permits the 26 to be operated from either side of the machine.

Pipe supplementary equipment such as the Manual Fusion Machine Stand, are also available.  This makes working with the Pit Bull 26, Pit Bull 14, and 2LC much more convenient. This stand can be raised to a comfortable operator’s position. Its height is compatible with the McElroy pipe supports, PolyPorter and PolyHorse, allowing for straightforward pipe loading into the machine. Upon completion, it folds for convenient storage and has wheels for transporting your machine to the next location.

Once something has been established and it’s had several years of existence, it’s not all that uncommon for untruths and myths to eventually develop around it. This applies as much to HDPE pipe and we are here to debunk some of the frequent misconceptions related to this type of pipe and how it works.

Let’s figure out any possible misunderstandings once the moment arrives that the pipe needs to be buried. Contemporary pipe has developed enough to the point that it is built for assorted purposes and that includes burying. In addition, revolutionary pipe technologies such as Fusio-Tech UV Black Piping are equipped with a highly preventive coating to resist the effects of the sun and its strong rays.

There is more about the strength and integrity of the joints in terms of pipe fusion. The fusion will depend on several factors including the individual who is charged with the fusion job. The materials, the possibility of contamination of the surface, all of these will play a role in the results of the joint. The method of fusion is highly efficient and successful but it takes a substantial amount of time and can take longer due to factors outside a person’s control, such as weather conditions, for example.

In case you missed the news, McElroy recently released another update to its incredibly useful DataLogger® tablet. The 1.17 update focuses on improving the overall performance of the Android-powered device as well as adjustments for users that are working with extra short cycle times, diameter pipe that’s smaller than average, and several new features.

Among the new features is the ability to manually input traceability information from the pipe. The new feature replaces the longtime “Scan Barcode” button in the pipe settings section with a new button dubbed “Traceability”. Upon selecting this option, users can enter information such as the pipe manufacturer, production date, and more. The option to scan the barcode will remain available.

Several new data fields have also been added, allowing users to enter information like the area name, the name of the procedure, and variation name.
