Series 576 Electrofusion Tapping Saddle with NPT Thread

The Series 576 Electrofusion Tapping Saddle combines a robust two-piece design with advanced engineering to create a secure, leak-free transition between HDPE pipes and threaded fittings. Ideal for municipal, industrial, and utility applications, this saddle ensures long-term reliability under pressure while adhering to stringent industry standards.

Key Features

• Two-Piece Construction: Electrofusion branch saddle paired with a threaded fitting, reinforced by a steel compression ring for unmatched durability.
• Multi-Level Barb System: Ensures a radial compressed, leak-free joint—even under zero internal pressure or thermal stress.
• Wide Compatibility: Outlet sizes range from 0.5” to 2” NPT threads to accommodate diverse piping needs.
• 50-Year Design Life: Engineered to handle the pressure rating of HDPE pipe with a 2:1 safety factor at 73.4°F.
• Low-Profile Design: Allows secure corporation stop connections without compromising pipe integrity.

Technical Specifications

• Materials:
  • Threaded Fitting: Type 304/316 Stainless Steel (ASTM A249/A269) or C954 Lead-Free Aluminum Bronze.
  • HDPE Pipe: Meets ASTM D-3350, F714, and D3035. Density ≥0.955 g/cm³, tensile strength 3,200–3,500 psi, and 5,000+ hours ESCR rating.
• Compliance: Exceeds ASTM 1598, 1599, and ARRA requirements.
• Warranty: 1 year post-installation.

Installation Guidelines

• Electrofusion Saddle: Follow manufacturer’s guidelines; includes straps for secure attachment to the main pipe.
• Threaded Fitting:
  • Always use Teflon tape or pipe sealant and strap wrenches (no pipe wrenches).
  • Employ two wrenches to avoid ovality or damage from over-tightening.
  • Pressure-test connections before backfilling and compact soil carefully to prevent shifts.
