Introduction

Thank you for purchasing this     

McElroy product.

The 2CU (Combination Unit) model fusion machine is designed 
with butt fusion and sidewall fusion capabilities. The narrow 
clamp design provides for butt fusion of tees, ells and other 
fittings without added adapters and allows precise pipe 
alignment at the fusion joint.
The 2CU model fuses 1/2" CTS to 2" IPS pipe (20mm to 
63mm). 
Sidewall clamps with chain vise permit fixing unit to centerline of 
pipe main for saddle fusion. Factory chain length will clamp 8" 
IPS (200mm) pipe.
With reasonable care and maintenance, these machines will 
give years of satisfactory service.
