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.
