Happy Holidays From McElroy

This time of year, children around the world are clamoring for games and toys. Why should they have all the fun?

As a gift to you this holiday season, McElroy is giving you the addictive game TracMan. While we realize that these games are often called “productivity killers,” we think that by using McElroy’s productivity-enhancing equipment, you’ll have just enough extra time to get in a few games of TracMan.

The game is easy – just guide the TracStar® around the maze using your keyboard’s arrow keys, collecting pieces of PE resin while avoiding the leaking pipe systems. By using the four McElroy icon “power ups”, the TracStar® (or TracMan) will become energized to fix those leaky pipes with the power of butt fusion.

Watch for McElroy’s productivity tools to appear underneath the “Old Pipe Depot” in the middle – it’s the source of continuing pipe leaks. Pick up these tools to boost your productivity and score more points.

We hope you enjoy TracMan, and hope that your year ahead is filled with many pipe fusions (away from the computer screen.)

Happy Holidays!

Team McElroy


  
 
With the new Socket Tooling Kits, you can locate and identify a specific range of socket tooling equipment that fits your needs, instead of ordering each piece separately. McElroy has selectively chosen the proper heater adapters, ratchet shears, chamfer tools/depth gauges, and cold ring tools for a complete kit. All the equipment conveniently fits in a specially designed toolbox and tray to keep all of your socket tooling in one place.

The McElroy Socket Tooling Kits are available in four size groupings:

  • ASW19101 for ¾” to 2” IPS
  • ASW19201 for ½” CTS to 2” IPS
  • ASW19301 for 3” and 4” IPS
  • ASW19401 for ¾” and 1 ¼” IPS

Each kit contains:

  • Multi-Mc™ Sidewall & Socket Heater
  • Heater Sling
  • Spare Chamfer Blade
  • Socket Fitting Holder
  • Ratchet Shears (ASW19101, ASW19201, ASW19401 only)
  • 4” Plastic Pipe Cutter (ASW19301 only)
