Series 1050 PP-R x HDPE Transition Submittal
HDPE Pipe x PP-R Pipe Transition Fitting
The transition fitting is constructed out of PP-R material and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) PE 4710 pipe. The fitting sleeve that joins the piping can be manufactured from epoxy-coated carbon steel or 304/316 stainless steel. The PP-R and HDPE piping materials are hydraulically pressed into the machined coupling. The transition fitting is designed with our multi-level barb system that provides a leak-free radial compressed joint.
Quality Assurance
The transition fitting shall be manufactured by Poly-Cam, Inc. Poly-Cam, Inc. shall provide quality assurance with regards to proper installation, compatibility, performance, and acceptance.
