Series 525 Branch Saddle with Male Transition

Engineered to create secure, leak-free connections in demanding environments, the Series 525 Branch Saddle with Male Transition combines hydraulic compression technology with ANSI/ASME-compliant threading for unmatched reliability. Ideal for industrial, municipal, and utility applications, this fitting supports sizes from 0.5" to 12" NPT and features a multi-level barbed design that strengthens under pressure. With certifications including NSF 61, FM 1120/1130, and AWWA compliance, it ensures safety in potable water, fire protection, and critical infrastructure systems.

Key Features & Benefits

• Broad Size Range: Accommodates 0.5” to 12” NPT, making it suitable for small repairs to large-scale installations.
• Pressure-Activated Seal: Multi-level barbs expand under internal pressure, preventing leaks during thermal shifts or zero-pressure conditions.
• Cross-Industry Certifications: NSF 61 (potable water), FM 1120/1130 (fire safety), and UL 262 listed for compliance in critical systems.
• Tool-Safe Installation: Requires strap wrenches (not pipe wrenches) to prevent thread damage during assembly.

Technical Specifications

• Sizes: 0.5”–12” NPT (ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 compliant).
• HDPE Pipe: ASTM D3350 (PE3408/PE4710), F714, D3035. Tensile strength: 3,200–3,500 psi; ESCR ≥5,000 hours (zero failures).
• Melt Index: ≤0.15 g/10 min (ASTM D1238).

Installation Guidelines

• Use Teflon tape or pipe sealant on threads for airtight connections.
• Avoid pipe wrenches—strap wrenches prevent ovality and thread deformation.
• Pressure-test joints before backfilling; compact soil to avoid ground shifts.
• Follow Plastic Pipe Institute’s butt fusion standards for HDPE welds.

Material & Compliance

• Threaded Fittings: Carbon Steel (A53/A106, epoxy-coated to NSF 61), 304/316 Stainless Steel (ASTM A249/A269), or ERW pipe (ASTM SA-312).
• HDPE: Density ≥0.955 g/cm³ (ASTM D1505), certified for FDA 175.300 and AWWA standards.
• Certifications: NSF 61 (PM13570), FM 1120/1130, UL 262, ASTM 1598/1599.

Warranty: 1 year from installation completion date.
