McElroy continues its legacy of innovation in thermoplastic pipe fusion with the Lynqs™, a compact, efficient solution designed to quickly and efficiently install 1 ½in outlet fittings onto 2in IPS mains.

Engineered for speed and simplicity, the Lynqs automatically aligns both the pipe and fitting, eliminating guesswork while improving consistency across every fusion. From its intuitive design to its minimal excavation requirements, every element is built with the operator in mind.

A key productivity advantage of the Lynqs is its quick-close jaw system. With a simple squeeze of the handle, the jaws snap securely into place, holding the pipe main while the fitting holder retains the outlet and ensures proper alignment throughout the fusion process. Its compact, bottom-loading carriage and L-shaped heater design significantly reduce the amount of excavation needed, helping crews save time and reduce jobsite disruption, especially in tight or challenging environments.

Designed for precision and compliance, the Lynqs features adjustable fusion force control and a built-in visual indicator that clearly shows when proper force has been achieved. This enables operators to meet ASTM F2620 fusion standards while maintaining consistent, repeatable results in the field.

Additional integrated capabilities further enhance usability and performance, including:

• One-handed attachment to the pipe main
• Built-in heater stripping mechanism
• Rapid open/close movement to maintain proper fusion timing
• Secure fitting retention that avoids contact with fitting seals
• Guided heater removal to prevent damage to the pipe or fitting
• Integrated controller housed within the heater handle
• Portable caddy and optional storage case for easy transport

Like all McElroy equipment, the Lynqs is built to withstand demanding jobsite conditions and is backed by an industry-leading five-year warranty, delivering long-term reliability customers can depend on.

The Lynqs reinforces McElroy’s commitment to advancing fusion technology with operator-focused solutions that increase productivity, improve safety and ensure high-quality results across every job.
