Series 510 Standard Tee with Male Transition
Designed for robust branching applications, the Series 510 Standard Tee with Threaded Transition ensures leak-free integration between HDPE piping and threaded systems. Featuring a multi-level barbed mechanical design and hydraulically compressed construction, this fitting withstands extreme pressure fluctuations while maintaining long-term reliability. Available in sizes from 0.5" to 8" NPT, it meets ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 standards and is ideal for industrial, municipal, and commercial systems.
Key Features & Benefits
- Pressure-Enhanced Seal: Multi-level barbs expand under pressure to eliminate leaks, even during thermal contraction or zero-pressure conditions.
- 50-Year Durability: Engineered with a 2:1 safety factor at 73.4°F to match HDPE pipe ratings, ensuring decades of trouble-free performance.
- Material Flexibility: Choose from epoxy-coated Carbon Steel, 304/316 Stainless Steel, ERW pipe, or lead-free C954 Bronze for corrosion resistance.
- Certified Safety: Complies with NSF 61, FDA 175.300, AWWA, UL 262, and FM 1120/1130 for potable water and industrial use.
Technical Specifications
- Sizes: 0.5” to 8” NPT (ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 compliant).
- HDPE Pipe: ASTM D3350 (PE3408/PE4710), F714, and D3035. Tensile strength: 3,200–3,500 psi; ESCR ≥5,000 hours (zero failures).
- Certifications: ASTM 1598, 1599, ARRA, and NSF 61.
Installation Guidelines
- Use strap wrenches—avoid pipe wrenches to prevent ovality or damage.
- Apply pipe joint sealant or Teflon tape to threads for airtight connections.
- Pressure-test all joints before backfilling; compact soil carefully to avoid shifts.
