How to Fuse Pipe with the McElroy 2LC

[@scottsugarbearpearson518]

Excellent video, dropping the ATSM standards put this video at the top Job well done

[@DODGERS-br8tf]

Awesome demonstration love that you show the wrong fusions you rock brotha I’m a UA UNION PLUMBER it’s been years since I’ve done this just want to refresh my memory a bit thank you

[@ryeckley7267]

Great tutorial.

[@anonymousbaros4424]

Do you have a demonstration of switching the jaw inserts for 1/2, 3/4, 1, 1-1/4 ?

[@alazubaidi6263]

Question to Mc elroy... This method of face to face pipes welding.. Is it possible for all pipes sizes or some specific ones...

[@donnieboydarko774]

Must be nice not bein in a ditch

[@Eargasm4all]

Exactly!

[@ssslither123]

I heard that

[@zstark907]

Man, I’m doing 3/4” gas installs and I have been hooping my pipe out of efv holes to avoid the ditch haha

[@tonyc223]

@@zstark907 Does nos seem practical, chance for many bad welds. Prime and glue seems faster and better.

[@oolaphowilliams]

Good foundation

[@natesinner9784]

Old video today minimum bead is 3/16 and max is 5/16. Plus he made a cold fusion he waited to Ling to put pipe together

[@jbc_8110]

Nate Sinner minimum bead is still 1/16 and that’s not what a cold fusion is

[@CharlieJulietSierra]

@@jbc_8110 Right and right!

[@xpuronorte450]

Nate Sinner he let it heat up way to long n was way to slow wen joining them

[@TSyoyo]

Bead size means nothing scientifically. Its not an indicator for a ‘good’ fusion. Customers want it but ive seen way way worse then you see here pass astm testing. PE is very forgiving

[@xpuronorte450]

J S if it looks ugly they won’t pass it were I work N yeah it don’t gotta look good for it to work I just re tested n seen the inside of my fuse electrical n heat

[@CharlieJulietSierra]

Butt fusion is superior to socket fusion in almost every way. I do not know why socket fuses are even made any more. Good video!

[@michaelm9638]

I do socket fusions everyday and they work just fine.

[@natesinner9784]

They say to many human errors

[@CharlieJulietSierra]

@@michaelm9638 Oh they work! I just do not see any reason to do it that way.

[@chalkyblack7582]

Never losen the low side

[@MrOkaloosa87]

We use alcohol on pipe and hot plate, never had an issue

[@huilibarton8371]

Nice video ; sendme more information

[@zstark907]

No isopropyl alcohol huh

[@Huckleberry1904]

Thats not high density pipe. It should be black with yellow stripe ot solid black

[@ranazulqarnain1166]

I used this machine butt this fail in ditch

[@jbc_8110]

The 2LC is a great machine, the 1LC is garbage though

[@tonyc223]

Time consuming .Glue sleeves seems faster. Doing this in a ditch on a cold windy day opens up lots of mistakes.

[@xpuronorte450]

That fusion he did was trash

[@alexgomora1134]

Yup, that’ll be a write up from our inspectors for sure
