Series 517 HDPE Blind Flange with Female NPT
Designed to terminate or test piping systems with absolute reliability, the Series 517 HDPE Blind Flange with Female NPT combines hydraulic compression technology and a reinforced barbed design for leak-free performance. Ideal for industrial, municipal, and utility applications, this fitting ensures long-term integrity under pressure fluctuations and thermal stress. Available in sizes from 0.5" to 2" NPT, it meets ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 standards and includes a compression ring for added stability.
Key Features & Benefits
- Blind Flange Functionality: Seals pipe ends securely while allowing future system expansion or pressure testing.
- Pressure-Activated Seal: Multi-level barbs tighten under internal pressure, preventing leaks even during thermal contraction.
- Lead-Free Materials: C954 Bronze option complies with environmental and potable water safety standards.
- 50-Year Performance: Built with a 2:1 safety factor at 73.4°F, certified to ASTM 1598/1599 and ARRA requirements.
Technical Specifications
- Sizes: 0.5”–2” NPT (ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 compliant).
