Acrobat™ 560/630

Available for purchase or rental

McElroy's Acrobat™ machines that feature the QuikFit® carriage are size-specific and are composed of lightweight, modular components so that the upper and lower jaws can be assembled around the pipe by hand. This eliminates the difficulty of lifting and fitting an entire carriage into a small space. It will fuse pipe in any orientation that is required on plumbing mechanical, and HVAC installations, including vertical and overhead. The Acrobat™ 560/630 size range is 560mm and 630mm (22" and 24" nominal).

Note: The McElroy Acrobat QuickFit® Core Package is required for each of the size-specific QuickFit® tools.
