McElroy has designed
the first all-in-one fusion
tool for outlet fusion of
polypropylene pipe. The
patent-pending Hornet
helps installers maintain
perfect alignment of the
pipe and fitting for more
efficient and accurate
fusions, with less time
and strain, compared to
manual methods.
The unique, "V-base"
design allows the Hornet
to self-align on the
center of the main pipe.
A slide-mounted precision carriage guides the
drilling of the outlet hole
and fusion of the fitting-
keeping everything
perfectly aligned to produce consistent and accurate fusions.
"In the past, outlet fusion was a painstaking process done by hand,
so this is a huge leap forward," said Jason Lawrence, Director of Product
Development for McElroy. "The Hornet makes it easier and faster because
it's doing all the work."
With a small footprint and weighing just 13 pounds, the Hornet is capable of performing outlet fusions in any orientation, including overhead and
vertical fusions in tight spaces.
The Hornet works with all McElroy socket heaters and fusion outlet
adapters for polypropylene pipe from 20mm to 63mm on mains up to
630mm. Each socket adapter is Teflon-coated for durability and long life.
The Hornet utilizes small McElroy heaters featuring a micro-processor
control and dial thermometer for precise, reliable temperature.
Built to withstand tough environments, the Hornet comes with a fiveyear warranty. (918) 836-861, mcelroy.com

Thompson Pump Introduces New Remote-Operated RECON Control Panel
Thompson Pump's new
RECON2000T control panel
provides remote pump
control and monitoring -
from a smartphone, laptop,
desktop computer or any
other device with Internet
access - thereby reducing
the time and labor needed
onsite.
The RECON200T
debuted at CONEXPO-Con/
AGG in Las Vegas, during
March, with live demos
showcasing the new technology, via a live video feed of a Thompson pump thousands of miles away
in Florida. Convention attendees experienced how seamlessly the control

panel worked and how the interactive technology allowed access to data
from a remote location.
"We're thrilled with the response we're getting from the RECON2000T,"
said Bobby Zitzka, sales manager for Thompson Pump. "We launched this
new panel to meet the changing needs of our customers."
The RECON2000T utilizes cellular and satellite networks for a secure
and reliable connection in even the most remote locations, and also comes
Wi-Fi ready. It gives operators informational access and control over the
pump unit with the ability to remotely monitor the unit, record data and
vary speed. The dashboard displays all the same pump and engine data as
it appears on the RECON2000T control panel onsite. If there's a problem
with the pump or engine, the RECON2000T can even be setup to send
notification on the designated Internet-activated device.
Thompson Pump, a 47-year old family-owned company based in Port
Orange, FL, is a full-service manufacturer and provider of high-quality
dewatering pumps, pumping equipment and engineering expertise for
dewatering, bypass and emergency pumping applications worldwide.
