Series 525a Molded HDPE Butt Fusion Branch Saddle

$2,004.26
Nominal Size
  • Bimodal Molecular Resilience: PE4710 resin’s dual polymer structure maximizes impact resistance and longevity in extreme environments.
  • Optimized Fusion Surface: Widened base design increases weld contact area by 20% for unbreakable joint integrity.
  • Shear-Force Geometry: Precision-tapered outlet redistributes mechanical stress, reducing failure risks by 35% versus standard saddles.
  • Decades-Load Assurance: 50-year performance guarantee with 2:1 safety factor, validated by ASTM D1693 zero-failure ESCR testing.

Engineered for superior strength and reliability, the Series 525a Molded HDPE Butt Fusion Branch Saddle is crafted from premium PE 4710 bimodal polyethylene copolymer resin, ensuring leak-free performance in demanding industrial, municipal, and utility applications. Made in the USA, this saddle features a reinforced design with a widened base for enhanced fusion surface area and a tapered outlet to resist shear forces. Ideal for high-pressure systems, it meets ASTM standards and includes a 50-year design life with a 2:1 safety factor at 73.4°F.
