Series 415 Side Fusion Tapping Saddle
The female tapping saddle is a barbed, mechanical design which is hydraulically compressed into the polyethylene or pipe quality copolymer material. A stainless steel compression ring is added to ensure maximum pullout strength. This low-profile heavy-duty design allows the corporation stops or valves a secure connection to the outside wall of the HDPE pipe. The tapping saddle can be installed with standard side fusion equipment.
The female threaded coupling outlet is pressed into various base pipe sizes ranging from 1.5”-4” and the base can be machined to the radius needed for the main size for fusing to the main at the jobsite.
All threaded transitions can be made to be AIS (American Iron and Steel) or BABA compliant upon request.
