Series 525A Branch Saddle With HDPE Butt Fusion Transition

The Series 525A Branch Saddle with HDPE Butt Fusion Transition by Poly-Cam is engineered for strength, reliability, and long-term performance in demanding piping systems. Made in the USA, this molded branch saddle is constructed from high-quality bimodal polyethylene copolymer resin PE 4710 (445574C), meeting ASTM D3350 standards.

Key Features:

• Durable HDPE Construction: Manufactured using high-density polyethylene (HDPE), this saddle is designed to meet or exceed ASTM D3350, ASTM F714, and ASTM 3035 requirements.
• Robust Design: Features a lower taper at the base of the outlet to resist shearing forces and a wider round base to ensure maximum surface area for efficient butt fusion.
• Superior System Performance: Designed to match the pressure rating of HDPE pipe with a 2:1 safety factor at 73.4°F, supporting a minimum 50-year design life.
• Reliable Installation: Compatible with standard butt fusion welding methods. All field welds should follow the Plastic Pipe Institute’s guidelines to ensure proper fusion and long-term performance.
• Quality Assurance: Manufactured by Poly-Cam, Inc., with strict quality control and performance validation for compatibility and reliability.

Material Specifications:

• Density: ≥ 0.955 g/cm³ (ASTM D1505)
• Melt Index: ≤ 0.15 g/10 min (ASTM D1238)
• Tensile Strength at Yield: 3,200–3,500 psi (ASTM D638)
• Environmental Stress Crack Resistance: > 5,000 hours with zero failures (ASTM D1693, Condition C)

This branch saddle is ideal for contractors and engineers seeking a trusted, heavy-duty solution for branching HDPE piping systems. All necessary certifications are available upon request.
