Harco 75-33044 Hdpe Compression Male Adapter 1 in Ips

Product Description

The HARCO 75-33044 is a 1-inch IPS HDPE compression male adapter designed for water service connections. This fitting transitions a high-density polyethylene pipe to a male threaded connection using a compression-style joint, eliminating the need for heat fusion or solvent welding. It is a standard component in potable water distribution systems and service line installations. Plumbers and water service contractors install this type of adapter where HDPE pipe meets threaded valve bodies, meter sets, or corporation stops. The compression design allows for a reliable, pressure-rated seal without specialized fusion equipment on the job site.

This adapter is suited for residential and light commercial water service applications where 1-inch IPS-sized HDPE pipe is the supply medium. Typical installations include underground water service lines running from the main to the meter, irrigation supply connections, and well system piping. The IPS sizing follows standard iron pipe size dimensions, making it compatible with common 1-inch HDPE SDR pipe used in municipal and private water service work.

Key Features

• Compression-style connection requires no heat fusion or solvent cement
• 1-inch IPS sizing matches standard iron pipe size HDPE water service pipe
• HDPE construction provides corrosion resistance and long service life in buried applications
• Male threaded end integrates directly with threaded valves, meters, and fittings
• Suitable for potable water service line installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use fitting for 1-inch IPS HDPE water service pipe in residential and commercial potable water distribution systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or water service contractors. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before making any connections. Hand-tighten the compression nut first, then use an appropriate wrench to complete the seal per the fitting manufacturer torque guidance. Installations must comply with applicable local plumbing codes and AWWA standards for water service piping.
