Series 730 Transition for PVC/HDPE PVC IPS Sch. 40/80 Submittal

HDPE Pipe x PVC Pipe Transition Fitting

The transition fitting is constructed out of PVC 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 PVC 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.
