The 3-inch HDPE Male Connector (Adapter) is a heavy-duty, high-performance compression fitting designed to join high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes to female-threaded valves, metal pipes, pumps, or other system components. Featuring a 90mm compression inlet on one end and a 3-inch male pipe thread on the other, it creates a robust, leak-free seal without requiring chemical solvents or heat fusion.
Key Technical Details
-
Dual-Action Seal: Equipped with an internal EPDM/NBR rubber O-ring for superior watertight performance under dynamic pressure fluctuations.
-
Anti-Pull Mechanism: Integrated with a high-strength Polyacetal (POM) split ring that grips the pipe securely, preventing accidental disconnection under heavy tension or water hammer.
-
Durable Construction: Molded from UV-stabilized polypropylene and HDPE polymers, making it resistant to harsh sunlight, soil corrosion, scaling, and agricultural chemicals.
-
High Working Pressure: Rated for PN10 to PN16 applications, handling continuous operating pressures up to 16 bar (230 PSI).
Primary Applications
Widely used in agricultural drip and sprinkler irrigation networks, municipal water distribution lines, industrial fluid transportation, and transitional joints between plastic and metal piping systems.
