Series 571 Electrofusion Branch Saddle with Male Pipe Thread
Engineered for demanding industrial and municipal applications, the Series 571 Electrofusion Branch Saddle with Male Pipe Thread delivers a robust, leak-free connection between HDPE pipelines and threaded systems. Featuring a two-piece electrofusion design and a multi-level barbed steel fitting, this saddle ensures radial compression integrity under extreme pressure fluctuations. With sizes from 0.5" to 12" NPT and compliance with ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 standards, it is ideal for potable water, fire protection, and critical infrastructure projects requiring long-term reliability.
Key Features & Benefits
- Electrofusion Technology: Hydraulic pressing creates seamless fusion between HDPE and the barbed steel fitting, eliminating leaks.
- Male NPT Compatibility: Direct integration with female-threaded systems reduces adapter use and installation complexity.
- Zero-Failure Assurance: 50-year design life with 2:1 safety factor, validated by 5,000+ hour ESCR testing (ASTM D1693).
- Cross-Industry Certifications: NSF 61, FM 1120/1130, UL 262, and AWWA compliant for fire safety and potable water systems.
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.
- Melt Index: ≤0.15 g/10 min (ASTM D1238).
Installation Guidelines
- Follow electrofusion manufacturer’s procedures for saddle installation on main pipes.
- Use Teflon tape or sealant on threads; avoid pipe wrenches to prevent ovality.
- Pressure-test joints before backfilling and compact soil to avoid shifts.
Material & Compliance
- Threaded Fittings: Carbon Steel (A53/A106, epoxy-coated), 304/316 Stainless Steel (ASTM A249/A269), ERW pipe (ASTM SA-312), or lead-free C954 Bronze.
- HDPE: Density ≥0.955 g/cm³ (ASTM D1505), certified for FDA 175.300 and AWWA standards.
- Certifications: ASTM 1598/1599, ARRA, NSF 61 (PM13570), FM 1120/1130.
Warranty: 1 year from installation completion date.
