Key Features

  • Elastomeric construction provides strength and flexibility to allow saddle to securely fit 6 in. sewer main pipe diameters and up
  • Self-piercing Flo-Tap™ saddle has a unique cutter that captures debris as it cuts so there's no need for cleaning up, and prevents debris from entering the water supply
  • Clamp-It™ rigid saddle features a patented wedge design eliminates the need for bolts, washers, or nuts to connect to pipe; requires less space to install compared to a traditional saddle
  • Clamp-It™ rigid saddle has proven success in copper and gold mines for heap leach mining
  • Flexible saddle body made of flexible elastomeric PVC
  • Rigid saddle body made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC)

Applications

  • Flexible saddle adds a lateral sewer line at an angle to a sewer main line; flexible elastomeric material enables saddle to securely fit around a range of sewer main pipe diameters

  • Flo-Tap™ rigid saddle provides a fast and easy way to add a branch connection to an existing pipeline without the need to shut off water or bolt saddle onto pipe

  • Clamp-It™ rigid saddle makes it quick and easy to add a sprinkler or riser to an existing pipeline with its bolt-free patented wedge design

Installation & Maintenance

  • To install the flexible saddle: drill hole in pipe wall with a hole saw; place saddle on pipe; tighten clamps around the saddle with torque wrench; position pipe into saddle inlet and tighten the clamp around inlet to secure

  • To install the Flo-Tap™ rigid saddle: clamp saddle over pipe and tap in wedge; remove cap and turn internal cutter to cut pipe opening; solvent-weld new line; remove cutter and debris; replace cap to prevent leaking

  • To install the Clamp-It™ rigid saddle: drill hole in pipe; place saddle over hole and attach clamping hinge around pipe; apply wedge and secure in place with a tap of a rubber mallet

  • If water is leaking out, tighten clamp on flexible saddle to ensure a firm seal.  Saddle performance issues can indicate damage; replace as needed

Materials & Sustainability

  • Flexible saddle body made of flexible elastomeric PVC

  • Rigid saddle body made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC)

  • Flexible saddle clamps made of stainless steel

  • Flo-Tap saddle O-ring made of EPDM; cutter made of stainless steel

  • Clamp-It saddle O-ring made of EPDM

  • Onsite flow management protects pipe systems from backflow which can lead to corrosion of pipes, property damage, and issues with the flow system
