Machine Grooved Transition Fitting | IPS | SDR 9 | 255 PSI
Connect HDPE to grooved-end steel piping with confidence using this high-performance Machine Grooved Transition Fitting from Integrity Fusion Products. Designed for IPS SDR 9 pipe, this fitting operates at a maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP) of 255 PSI at 73.4°F, making it ideal for high-pressure municipal, industrial, and utility piping systems.
Manufactured from AWWA-compliant, epoxy-coated ASTM A53/API-5 carbon steel, this fitting features a precisely machined and beveled groove that forms a robust mechanical joint. The full HDPE ID coverage ensures complete corrosion protection and a piggable, leak-resistant seal, while also accommodating thermal stresses across the pipeline.
Key Features:
- Machine grooved carbon steel end for mechanical coupling connections
- SDR 9 HDPE end compatible with PE3408 / PE4710 / PE100 resins
- 255 PSI rated (MAOP at 73.4°F)
- Internally and externally epoxy-coated for superior corrosion resistance
- Internal groove design creates a tight, leak-resistant joint
- Complies with ASTM D2513 Category 3 (not for natural gas use)
- Certified to ASTM D3261, D1598, D1599, AWWA C901/C906, NSF/ANSI/CAN-61, and NSF/ANSI-372
- Heat fusion compatible with most PE pipes and fittings
- Made in the USA
Typical Applications:
- Municipal water and wastewater systems
- Oil and gas production
- Mining, dredging, and landfill operations
- Saltwater disposal and process piping
- Irrigation, geothermal, and telecom conduit installations
Installation Note:
Grooved end is compatible with standard mechanical couplings. Ensure correct alignment and support during installation. Always pressure test before backfilling or burying pipe.
