Boshart SSHL-075 3/4" MPT x Insert 304 Stainless Steel 90° Hydrant Elbow

Hydrant fittings are used to connect the water line to a hydrant under ground.

Applications

• For use with ASTM D2239 PE plastic pipe (Standard Specification for Polyethylene (PE) Pipe (SIDR-PR) Based on Controlled Inside Diameter).
• Designed for use with 50 PSI utility pipe, 75 and 100 PSI pipe, and any other PE pipe with inside diameters conforming to ASTM D2239.
• Insert fittings are intended for cold water applications, including irrigation, well service, and potable water applications. These products are not to be used with compressed gases.
• Fittings must be protected from freezing temperatures where fluid expansion due to freezing could occur.

Features

• Commonly used to connect waterlines to a hydrant underground.
• The hydrant fittings with a bottom pad are designed to elevate the pipe and clamp above the ground surface, reducing contact and minimizing abrasion or wear over time.
• Tapped fittings can be used to install several types of attachments including valves, pressure gauges, and temperature sensors.
• The sweep elbow design provides better flow and less turbulence than the square block design
• Elbows are used when installing a Yard Hydrant at end of a supply line.

Specifications

• System operating pressures and temperatures are limited by the maximum operating pressures and temperatures of the ASTM D2239 PE pipe. Always refer to the PE pipe manufacturer's pressure and temperature ratings.
• Stainless Steel series made from 304 Stainless Steel alloy.

Certifications

• NSF/ANSI Standard 372 Certified (Drinking Water System Components - Lead Content)
• SS- (Stainless Steel alloys do not contain any lead 0.00% Pb)

Do not confuse hydrant insert fittings with hose fittings. The use of a hose fitting, which is manufactured with smaller barb diameters than poly (PE) pipe, will result in a leaking connection with very little or no pull off resistance!
