The 2CU will butt fuse ½" CTS to 2" IPS (16mm to 60mm) pipe, tees, ells and other fittings. This combination unit (CU) incorporates McElroy's patented sidewall feature. Sidewall clamps with chain vise allow the unit to be attached on the centerline of a pipe main for sidewall fusion of ½" to 2" service saddles, round base branch saddles and small tapping tees.
The 2CU is equipped with chain lengths that will clamp up to 8" IPS pipe. Additional chain lengths are available for larger main sizes.
A range of accessories are available for the 2CU, including a Manual Fusion Machine Stand that brings fusion operations to a comfortable level.
