Description and advantages
PE outlet hot tapping saddles are a world première, as they allow creating branches in under-pressure water networks by means of electrically weldable accessories without the need to cut the supply and without water losses.
They are manufactured in two sizes, with PE90 and PE110 outlet, and they can be installed on polyethylene, PVC, fibre cement and ductile iron pipes with a nominal diameter from 100 to 350mm.
The OPTIMQ PE outlet hot tapping saddles are fitted with a rotary blade system to shut-off the water outlet after the pipe has been drilled, thus avoiding leaks during the connection process.

The blade is a sort of guillotine that is fastened to an anchoring point on the saddle, on which it is able to rotate to make the insertion and extraction easier and avoid any possible water leaks. Once the blade has been inserted, there are neither leaks nor drippings due to an internal sealing system.
The PE outlet saddle is an assembly that consists of a body made of ductile cast and an outlet pipe of PE. The saddle is fastened to the pipe by means of straps that are manufactured in different sizes and widths, allowing for the installation of the saddle on pipes of different materials and diameters. Wide straps of 265mm in width are used for PE and PVC-O pipes with diameters from 160 to 350mm. Simple straps of 55mm in width are used for rigid, ductile cast or fibre cement pipes, covering a nominal diameter range from 100 to 350mm.
Both the simple and the wide straps are made of stainless steel and coated with a rubber profile that insulates and improves the adherence of the strap to the pipe. They are also fitted with a fastening system with studs and double-nut that avoids thread-galling during the installation process.
