The Series 501 Groove Transition Tee by Poly-Cam bridges HDPE/copolymer pipes with steel systems using advanced hydraulic compression technology. Designed for high-pressure water, gas, and industrial applications, this mechanical fitting ensures leak-proof performance with a 2:1 safety factor and a 50-year service life.
Key Features & Benefits
✅ Multi-Level Barb Compression
- Hydraulically compresses HDPE/copolymer into the fitting, creating a self-sealing bond that strengthens under pressure.
- Prevents leaks even with thermal expansion/contraction or zero internal pressure.
✅ 50-Year Pressure-Rated Design
- Built to handle HDPE pipe pressure ratings (ASTM D1598/D1599) with a 2:1 safety factor at 73.4°F.
- Exceeds ARRA requirements for municipal and industrial compliance.
✅ Durable Material Options
- Steel Fittings: Carbon steel (A53/A106), 304/316 stainless steel (ASTM A249/A269), or ERW pipe (ASTM SA-312).
- HDPE/Copolymer: PE3408/PE4710 (ASTM D3350), with 0.955 g/cm³ density and 5,000+ hour crack resistance (ASTM D1693).
- Epoxy Coating: NSF 61/FDA 175.300-compliant Red Iron Oxide coating for corrosion resistance.
✅ Groove Compatibility
- Sized for 1"–8" Iron Pipe Sizes (IPS).
- Grooves cut to industry-standard specifications for seamless integration with grooved piping systems.
✅ Easy Installation
- Compatible with butt fusion (PPI standards) for HDPE and cold-pressing for steel couplings.
- Tapered entrance guides pipe material into multi-level barbs for a secure fit.
