The McElroy Sidewinder™ Fusion Machines give you the ability to saddle fuse 4’’ IPS and smaller branch saddles, tapping tees and service saddle fittings onto 1¼’’ IPS and larger main sizes. The Sidewinder comes in two configurations: the Jaw Clamp and Chain Clamp. The Jaw Clamp Sidewinder is used for fusing branch saddles, tapping tees and service saddle fittings onto 1¼’’ to 4’’ IPS main sizes. The Chain Clamp Sidewinder gives you the ability to fuse onto main sizes larger than 4” IPS. Both Sidewinders are DataLogger compatible.

The standard size Sidewinders are designed to fuse a full range of fittings. The compact Sidewinders are designed for tighter confines and smaller fittings.
