Series 641 The Camlock/HDPE Male Transition Submittal
Camlock/HDPE Transitions
The Poly-Cam Camlock/HDPE transition is a multi-level mechanical transition fitting. The polyethylene or pipe-quality copolymer material is hydraulically compressed into a male thread transition which is screwed into the camlock fitting.
Design
Relaxation of the pipe creates a seal to prevent leakage. Under pressure, the internal pressure within the pipe increases the sealing surface area on the barb. Under zero internal pressure, the compression and tensional strain created by the compression of the multi-level barbs are greater than the stress created by relaxation and/or thermal expansion and contraction. As the internal pressure increases, the connection between the pipe material and transition fitting increases.
- Sizes range from 1” to 6”.
- Camlocks available in stainless steel or aluminum
System Performance
The transition fitting is designed to handle the pressure rating of the HDPE pipe with a 2:1 safety factor at 73.40 degrees Fahrenheit with a minimum 50-year design life.
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. The transition joint meets or exceeds the requirements of:
- ASTM 1598 and ASTM 1599
- All Fittings meet ARRA requirements.
Installation
Camlock Fitting: Insert the male camlock coupling into the female camlock coupling. Pull the levers on the female camlock to clamp the connection into place.
HDPE pipe end: Install transition fitting to comply with the pipe manufacturer’s recommended procedures. All field welds shall be completed per Plastic Pipe Institute’s welding procedure for butt fusion.
