McElroy has designed an all-in-one fusion tool for outlet fusion of polypropylene pipe, the Hornet. The patent-pending Hornet helps installers maintain alignment of the pipe and fitting for accurate fusions with less time and strain compared to manual methods.
The V-base design of the Hornet allows it to self-align on the center of the main pipe. A slide-mounted precision carriage guides the drilling of the outlet hole and fusion of the fitting keeping everything aligned to produce consistent and accurate fusions.
With a small footprint and weighing 13 pounds, the Hornet is capable of performing outlet fusions in any orientation, making it ideal for overhead and vertical fusions in tight spaces.
The Hornet works with all McElroy socket heaters and fusion outlet adapters for polypropylene pipe from 20- to 63-millimeters on mains up to 630-millimeters. Each socket adapter is Teflon-coated. The Hornet utilizes McElroy heaters that feature a micro-processor control and dial thermometer for precise temperature.
Built to withstand tough environments, the Hornet comes with a 5-year warranty.
