HDPE Fusion Rental FAQ

Yes, and it is the thing almost nobody else rents. We carry McElroy socket, outlet, and hot tap tools built for PPR-RCT, the Spider 125, Hornet, and Hornet XL, plus dual-material Ritmo and Widos machines that weld HDPE and PPR-RCT on the same frame, with tooling for Aquatherm, NUPI Niron, and Aquatechnik systems. See the HDPE vs PPR-RCT guide for which machines run which pipe.

McElroy’s PPR-RCT tools take 110V or 230V heaters, and several drive off a hand drill, so building receptacle power usually covers them. Ritmo and Widos butt fusion machines run 110V or 230V through 8″; the 12″ class and the Widos W5100 want 230V single phase, and 18″ and up run three phase. Details in the power guide.

Start with the rental request form or call (702) 902-2911. Tell us the pipe size and material, fitting types, job location, and dates. We confirm the right machine and tooling, quote the rental and freight, and schedule delivery or pickup.

More is always better, especially for large-diameter machines or remote job sites. A few days’ notice is usually comfortable. If the job is moving faster than that, call us and we’ll tell you straight what we can do.

Both. We arrange delivery to job sites and yards across the western U.S. with freight quoted up front, or you can pick up if you’re set up to haul. Just note your preference on the request form.

Daily, weekly, and monthly terms, plus project-length rentals for longer jobs. Rentals start at $20 a day for hand tools and heater kits. Weekly and monthly rates work out better for most crews. Tell us your schedule and we’ll quote the term that fits it.

Rentals go out inspected, function-tested, and tooled for the pipe sizes you tell us about, clamp inserts, heater, facer, and the rest of the standard package for that machine. Your quote lists exactly what’s included, so check it against your pipe and fitting list before the machine ships.

Most fusion machines need job-site power, and we’ll spell out the power requirements for the machine you’re renting. We don’t rent generators, but they’re widely available through national rental networks in nearly every town, we’ll point you in the right direction.

The machine is sized to the pipe: outside diameter, wall thickness (DR), and the fittings you’re joining. Send those details with your rental request and we’ll spec the machine for you. That’s a normal part of every quote, not an extra.

Yes. We walk your crew through the machine at handoff and supply the manufacturer’s operating documentation. Fusion procedures and operator qualification requirements come from your project specs, so check those as well.

Requirements are covered in the rental agreement. A certificate of insurance and a deposit are typical for equipment rentals of this kind, and we’ll spell out exactly what applies when we quote your job.

Normal wear is expected, these machines work for a living. Damage beyond normal wear is handled per the rental agreement. Report anything that happens right away and we’ll sort out the fix without drama.

Yes, plus socket fusion, outlet fusion, and hot tap tools. The fleet runs 27 tools from Ritmo, McElroy, and Widos: socket fusion from ½″ to 4″, butt fusion from 4″ to 24″, and electrofusion from ½″ to 12″, covering couplings, saddles, and tie-ins.

Yes, we sell fusion equipment as well as rent it. Plenty of customers rent first to prove out the workflow on a real job, then buy. Contact us to talk through what makes sense for your volume of work.

Across the western United States, the Pacific Northwest, West Coast, and Mountain West, plus surrounding areas. See the service area page for how delivery and logistics work by region.

Many jobs now require logged fusion records. Our Ritmo Elektra electrofusion processors log every weld with PDF and CSV export, and the Easy Life butt fusion machines record up to 4,000 fusion cycles with PDF reports. Note the requirement on your rental request so we send a logging machine.
