the operator through a
step-by-step procedure for
fusing pipe. It has a built-in
data logging feature that
keeps a record of each
fusion joint, which allows
you to verify joint integrity.
All units incorporate the
interchangeable 28 4-jaw
carriage, which can be
easily removed for in-ditch
fusion. For tight installations,
the outer fixed jaw and skid can be removed from the
carriage converting it to a 3-jaw carriage for an even more
compact fusion unit. Several of these units offer saddle
fusion capability in the form of a Combination Unit (CU)
that allows fusion of branch saddles with a maximum base
diameter of 9.63” onto any size main.

28 fusion machines now come in multiple model
configurations to assure your pipe fusion needs are
covered. They will butt fuse pipe sizes from 2” IPS to 8”
DIPS (63mm to 225mm).
The Rolling 28 has staked its claim as the industry
standard for more than 30 years. Its ease of use and
rugged quality construction opened the door for the most
extensive line of 8-inch fusion machines on the market.
The TracStar 28 offers a self-contained, self-propelled,
track-mounted vehicle that can handle grades up to 30%.
It is the number one choice on the job site for its ease of
maneuverability and productivity gains. The PitBull 28 is
used for special applications where the wheeled or tracked
vehicle is not needed.
The latest upgrade to the TracStar 28 is an option that allows
automated control and monitoring over the heat, soak, fuse
and cool cycles. The Automated TracStar 28 guides
