Series 502 Standard 90° Elbow With Threaded Transition | HDPE × Male Thread

Series 502 Standard 90° Elbow With Threaded Transition | HDPE × Male Thread — Product Overview

Engineered for durability and performance, the SERIES 502 Standard 90° Elbow with Threaded Transition by Poly-Cam is the ultimate solution for seamless transitions from HDPE piping to male-threaded systems. This high-quality mechanical transition fitting is designed for long-term reliability in both pressure and non-pressure applications, making it a trusted choice for contractors, utility providers, and infrastructure professionals.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Multi-Level Mechanical Seal: The transition fitting utilizes a hydraulically compressed bond between the HDPE and metal components, enhanced by multi-level barbs. This ensures a robust seal that strengthens with increased internal pipe pressure.
• Versatile Sizing: Available in sizes ranging from ½" to 8" NPT to accommodate a wide range of applications.
• Reliable Threading: All threads conform to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 – 2013 standards, ensuring precision and compatibility with standard piping systems.

Performance & Compliance:

• Designed to match the pressure rating of HDPE pipe with a built-in 2:1 safety factor at 73.4°F.
• Minimum 50-year design life guarantees dependable long-term use.
• Complies with ASTM 1598, ASTM 1599, ARRA, and NSF 61 standards for quality and safety.

Premium Materials:

• Threaded Fitting Materials: Choose from Carbon Steel (A53 or A106 grade), Type 304/316 Stainless Steel, C954-grade Aluminum Bronze, or ERW pipe—all meeting ASTM and NSF/FDA requirements.
• HDPE Pipe Materials: Manufactured from PE 3408 or PE 4710 HDPE that meets ASTM D-3350 and ASTM F714 standards with exceptional stress crack resistance and tensile strength.

Installation Made Easy:

• For HDPE Ends: Use standard butt fusion methods as outlined by the Plastic Pipe Institute.
• For Threaded Ends: Always use joint sealant or Teflon tape, strap wrenches (never pipe wrenches), and apply proper torque using two wrenches to prevent damage.
• Post-Installation: Conduct a pressure test prior to backfilling and compact soil carefully to protect the transition.

Peace of Mind Warranty:

Backed by a one-year warranty from the date of substantial installation completion, with full certification available upon request.

Ideal For:

Municipal water systems, gas pipelines, industrial piping installations, and anywhere secure HDPE to metal transitions are required.
