710 Series HDPE Transition Fitting | Male NPT Thread | DR 17 IPS

The Poly-Cam 710 Series Male NPT Thread Transition Fitting provides a secure, high-performance connection between HDPE conduit and NPT-threaded systems. Designed for DR 17 IPS-rated pipe, this multi-level mechanical transition features a hydraulically compressed HDPE or copolymer pipe end that creates a leak-proof seal under all pressure conditions—without the need for fusion welding at the threaded end.

Each fitting includes machined barbed ends and precision-machined NPT threads for maximum seal integrity, long-term durability, and reliable performance in demanding environments. Available in sizes from 0.5" to 12", these fittings are ideal for use in utility, municipal, industrial, and underground applications. AIS (American Iron and Steel) and BABA (Build America, Buy America) compliant options are available upon request.
