523 SERIES STANDARD TEE WITH REDUCING TRANSITION | HDPE × THREADED REDUCER

The Poly-Cam 523 Series Standard Tee with Reducing Transition is engineered for seamless integration between high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and threaded piping systems. This robust fitting features a precision-machined, barbed mechanical insert that is hydraulically compressed into the HDPE or pipe-grade copolymer material, reinforced with a stainless steel or aluminum bronze compression ring for added durability and sealing power.

This tee fitting is designed to accommodate directional flow while offering a secure, leak-resistant threaded reducer branch connection—ideal for service installations in water, gas, and utility infrastructure.

Key Features:

• Reliable Tee Configuration: Reducing branch connection with HDPE × Female NPT threads.
• Secure Barbed Mechanical Design: Multi-level barbs create a self-strengthening seal that tightens as internal pressure increases.
• Threaded Branch Sizes: Available in National Pipe Thread sizes from ½” to 2”, manufactured to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 – 2013 standards.
• Built to Perform: Designed for use with HDPE systems rated for a 2:1 safety factor at 73.4°F, with a 50-year minimum design life.
