THREADED HOT TAPPING SADDLES
Description and benefits
Threaded hot tapping saddles have been designed to create branches in under-pressure water supply networks, avoiding losses and the need to cut the supply.
The available sizes are ¾”, 1”, 1¼”, 1½” and 2”, and they can be installed on polyethylene, PVC, fibre cement and ductile iron pipes with a nominal diameter from 60 to 350mm.
The main advantage of the OPTIMQ under-pressure saddles is their rotary shut-off blade system that cuts off the water flow once the pipe has been drilled, to install the connection avoiding any type of leak during the process. The saddle is fitted with an anchoring point on which to fasten the blade allowing for rotation, making the insertion and the extraction much easier with minimum effort. Once the blade has been inserted in the saddle, the tightness of the assembly is guaranteed by means of a seal system that prevents dripping and leaks.
- Available sizes: ¾”, 1”, 1 ¼”, 1½” and 2”.
- Compatible with PE, PVC, ductile iron and fibre cement pipes.
- Threaded saddles of ¾” and 1” can be installed on ductile iron pipes from 60 to 300, fibre cement pipes from 60 to 300-D and PE and PVC-O pipes from 75 to 315.
- Threaded saddles of 1¼”, 1½” and 2” can be installed on ductile iron pipes from 80 to 350, fibre cement pipes from 80 to 350-D and PE and PVC-O pipes from 90 to 400.
- Nominal pressure: PN16
- Permissible working pressure (PWP):
- ¾” and 1”: 16 bars, except in the case of ductile iron connections of 60, and PE or PVC of 63, the pressure of which is 10 bars.
- 1¼”, 1½” and 2”: 16 bars, except in the case of ductile iron connections of 80, and PE or PVC of 75, the pressure of which is 10 bars.
- Manufactured according to the European standard EN545.
- Ductile cast saddle body, blue epoxy-coating certified for drinking water. Epoxy-coating thickness between 250 and 500 microns.
