Plasson Metric/Rural SS Reinforced Tapping Saddles for Blueline & Redline Poly Pipe with Galvanised Bolts - Box of 5

The Plasson Universal Metric/Rural Tapping Saddle is the fast, reliable way to create threaded branch connections on new or existing pipelines. Supplied in a convenient box of 5, these saddles are designed for both Redline rural and Blueline metric poly pipe, with the metric range also suitable for AS1477 PVC pipe.

Manufactured from robust polypropylene with a precision-moulded NBR rubber O-ring seal, these saddles ensure leak-free performance, even when pipe diameters vary slightly. Supplied with galvanised bolts (chromate passivation finish), they deliver long-lasting resistance against corrosion, with stainless steel bolt options available for chemically aggressive or buried environments.

Quick and simple to assemble, Plasson saddles are engineered for convenience, featuring bolt-retaining clips that prevent loss during installation. Pressure rated up to PN16, they are trusted for agricultural, municipal, and industrial water supply systems across Australia.

APPLICATIONS

• Branch connections on rural and metric pipelines
• Agricultural irrigation and stock watering systems

• Industrial and municipal water networks

Quick and Easy Assembly:

• Saddles are supplied with 2, 4 or 6 bolts depending on PE pipe diameter.
• Standard nuts and bolts supplied are galvanized via electroplating then protected with a proprietary passivation process.
• Saddles with stainless steel nuts and bolts are available for chemically aggressive environments (e.g. buried).

1. Select point for branch off-take, clean the pipe off mud etc.and ensure easy access to the pipe. Place up per part ofthe saddle (3), with the O-ring (4) inserted into its groove,on to the pipe with the branch outlet in its final position.
2. Inserts bolts (6) through the lower part of the saddle (5) and ensure that they are locked using the clip (5b).Locate the upper part of the saddle (3) on to the bolts, fit thenuts (2) and tighten the whole assembly until fully locked.
3. Drill through the pipe wall with a boring tool – a hole saw isrecommended. Be sure not to use boring tools, which coulddeform the pipe wall and cause leaks under the O-ring seal.Special feature (5b) – the retaining clip holds the bolt headin place to facilitate assembly and preventloss of the unassembled bolt.
