Introduction

Thank you for purchasing this

McElroy product

McElroy has created a smarter way to socket fuse pipe and 
fittings for polypropylene piping systems with the SmartFab™ 
125 benchtop machine. Its portable design allows it to be 
positioned on any flat surface for precise prefabrication, 
providing versatility in the field as well as the shop.

Advanced features of the SmartFab 125 provide more efficiency 
with innovative inserts that reduce ovality in pipe and fittings. 
The heater pivots to easily accommodate fittings situated on 
either side of the machine, which eliminates having to reposition 
the entire machine. Its four jaws adjust to any desired spacing 
and each jaw clamps individually to the desired pipe and fitting 
size.

The SmartFab 125 socket fuses 20mm to 125mm pipe and 
fittings.

When fusing thermoplastic pipe materials, refer to the pipe 
manufacturer's fusion procedures or appropriate joining 
standard. 

With reasonable care and maintenance, this machine will give 
years of satisfactory service. 

Before operating this machine, please read this manual 
thoroughly, and keep a copy with the machine for future 
reference. This manual is to be considered part of your machine.
