McElroy Pit Bull 26 Rental
Compact butt fusion for 2″–6″ HDPE. Built for the ditch, the vault, and every tight spot a big carriage can’t reach.

The McElroy Pit Bull 26 is a compact butt fusion machine for HDPE pipe from 2 in. IPS up to 8 in. It does the same job as the big carriages, faced ends, controlled heat, controlled force, in a package that breaks down small enough for a crew to get into a trench and work around live utilities.
That makes a Pit Bull 26 rental the right call for service connections, water and sewer tie-ins, in-ditch repairs, geothermal loops, and plant piping. It covers the everyday HDPE work that happens in holes, vaults, and crowded utility corridors from Seattle to Albuquerque.
Why rent a Pit Bull 26
Most contractors do not fuse 2 in. to 8 in. pipe every week. Renting puts a dialed-in machine on the job only when you need it, with the heater, facer, and insert sets matched to the sizes on your plans. No storage, no maintenance schedule, no capital tied up in a machine that sits between projects.
The general rental chains can hand you a generator or a compactor anywhere in the country; a fusion machine is another story. AHS Fusion Sales rents fusion equipment across the western U.S., WA, OR, ID, MT, WY, CA, NV, UT, CO, NM, AZ, and surrounding areas. Browse the rest of the fleet on our equipment rentals page.

Power & Generator
The Pit Bull 26 runs its heater and facer off standard single-phase power, and an 8 kW portable generator covers it with room to spare. Generators in that class are stocked at every national rental yard, so sourcing one near the job is easy, and we will point you in the right direction if you need one. Full sizing details are in our power and generator requirements guide.
