No.28

The McElroy No.28 fusion machines will butt fuse pipe sizes from 2” IPS - 8” DIPS (63mm - 225mm). They come in multiple model configurations to assure your pipe fusion needs are covered.

The Rolling No.28 has staked its claim as the industry standard for over 30 years. Its ease of use and rugged quality construction opened the door for the most extensive line of 8 inch fusion machines on the market. The TracStar No.28 offers a self-contained, self-propelled track mounted vehicle that can handle grades up to 30%. It is the number one choice on the job site for its ease of maneuverability and productivity gains. The PitBull No.28 is used for special applications where the wheeled or tracked vehicle is not needed.

The latest upgrade to the TracStar No.28 is an option that allows automated control and monitoring over the heat, soak, fuse, and cool cycles. The Automated TracStar No.28 gives the operator a step by step procedure for fusing pipe. It has a built-in data logging feature that keeps a record of each fusion joint, which allows you to verify joint integrity.

All units incorporate the interchangeable No.28 four jaw carriage, which can be easily removed for in-ditch fusion. For tight installations the outer fixed jaw and skid can be removed from the carriage converting it to a 3 jaw carriage for an even more compact fusion unit. Several of these units offer saddle fusion capability in the form of a Combination Unit (CU) that allows fusion up to 8” DIPS (225mm) branch saddles onto any size main.
