503 Series 45° Elbow With Threaded Transition | HDPE × Male Thread

503 Series 45° Elbow With Threaded Transition | HDPE × Male Thread — Product Overview

The Poly-Cam Series 503 45° Elbow with Threaded Transition provides a reliable and high-strength mechanical connection between HDPE piping systems and male-threaded fittings. Designed for long-term performance in high-pressure environments, this transition fitting features a hydraulically compressed multi-barbed insert that permanently bonds to the polyethylene or copolymer base, ensuring a leak-resistant seal.

This 45-degree elbow fitting is ideal for directional changes in piping systems while maintaining consistent pressure ratings. It’s engineered to perform under both zero and high-pressure conditions, using the internal pressure to reinforce the barb-to-pipe connection. The result is a robust mechanical joint with a minimum 50-year design life and a 2:1 safety factor at 73.4°F (23°C).
