Series 573 Electrofusion Branch Saddle with Flange

Engineered for seamless integration into industrial and municipal pipelines, the Series 573 Electrofusion Branch Saddle with Flange combines advanced hydraulic compression technology with ANSI B16.5-compliant flanges. Designed for sizes 1.25” to 18”, this fitting ensures a secure, leak-proof connection between HDPE pipes and flanged systems, even under extreme pressure fluctuations. Ideal for water distribution, fire protection, and chemical processing, it features a multi-level barbed design that strengthens under stress and meets ASTM, NSF, FM, and AWWA standards.

Key Features & Benefits

• ANSI B16.5 Flange Compliance: Available in 150#, 300#, and 600# pressure ratings for versatile system compatibility.
• Pressure-Activated Seal: Multi-level barbs expand under internal pressure, ensuring zero leaks during thermal shifts or static conditions.
• 50-Year Durability: Built with a 2:1 safety factor at 73.4°F, certified to ASTM 1598/1599 and ARRA requirements.
• Corrosion-Resistant Materials: Epoxy-coated carbon steel (IF 194T), 304/316 stainless steel, or ERW pipe options for harsh environments.

Technical Specifications

• Sizes: 1.25”–18” (ANSI B16.5 flanges).
• 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

• Follow electrofusion manufacturer’s procedures for saddle installation on main pipes.
• Use tapered coupling to cold-press HDPE into multi-level barbs—no heat required.
• Pressure-test joints before backfilling; compact soil to prevent ground shifts.

Material & Compliance

• Flanged Fittings: Carbon Steel (A53/A106, epoxy-coated), 304/316 Stainless Steel (ASTM A249/A269), or ERW pipe (ASTM SA-312).
• HDPE: Density ≥0.955 g/cm³ (ASTM D1505), certified for NSF 61, UL 262, and FDA 175.300.
• Certifications: FM 1120/1130 (fire safety), AWWA C116-01/C213-01 (water systems).

Warranty: 1 year from installation completion date.
