Pipe Fusion
McElroy TracStar 412i
The TracStar 412i from McElroy is designed to fuse pipe sizes from 4 to 12 inches. It incorporates the FusionGuide Control system seen on other TracStar iSeries models, providing operators with three levels of control during the fusion process. Each level has varying degrees of assistance, from manual control to fully automatic fusion. An indexer keeps the heater and facer attached to the four-jaw carriage, condensing the heater, facer and jaws into a single unit. It includes a new, larger-volume hydraulic tank secured beneath the machine’s dome. In addition to providing additional cooling, the new design also reduces the risk of accidentally adding the wrong fluid to the hydraulic tank. It is controlled via the DataLogger, a ruggedized tablet that records fusion parameters and other pertinent data during the fusion process. 918-831-9236; www.mcelroy.com
Pipe Parts, Fittings and Components
Reed Manufacturing Guillotine Pipe Cutters
Guillotine Pipe Cutters from Reed are designed to cut PE pipe within 1/8 inch of square on medium and high-density pipe. Manual guillotine-style cutter slices smoothly through polyethylene. Three models cover from 1 1/2- to 12-inch pipe diameters. Accurate cuts mean no facing is needed for electrofusion and only minimal facing for butt fusion joints. These tools leave a super smooth cut surface. A durable, nonstick coated blade makes many square cuts with no chips to clog valves and small openings. A slight taper on the blade allows an easy start to the cut and holds form for a nice, straight cut. Blades are easy to sharpen or replace. 814-452-3691; www.reedmfgco.com

Cat Pumps Spline Shaft Pumps
Cat Pumps offers direct-mount flange and hollow-spline shaft pumps to address the challenges of limited space and allow pairing with compact SAE hydraulic motors. The Model 2565T13 achieves flows to 20 gpm at pressures up to 3,000 psi and pairs to an SAE B hydraulic motor with a 13-tooth spline shaft. This reduces the width of the pump by over 7 1/2 inches compared to the standard bell housing configuration. Models 3560T14 and 3560RST14 pair with SAE C hydraulic motors with a 14-tooth spline shaft and can pump 20 gpm up to 4,000 psi or 25 gpm up to 3,000 psi. These models significantly decrease the overall pump and bell housing width by more than 8 inches and permit the motor to be mounted on either side. Equipment builders can add an optional electronic rpm speed sensor to ensure accurate, consistent pump operation. 763-780-5440; www.catpumps.com
