The 1LC fusion machine will butt fuse ½" CTS - 1" IPS (16mm – 34mm) pipe.
An alternative to the Mini-Mc®, the 1LC offers a more conventional style of operation while maintaining the great features of the 2LC. The heater is designed to locate on the guide rods of the unit, like most other McElroy fusion machines. The 1LC's compact design also allows for fusing in tight quarters.
The 1LC can butt fuse ½" CTS to 1” IPS (16mm to 34mm) service sizes. If you previously owned a Mini-Mc, the inserts you own for the Mini-Mc will work in the 1LC.
