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

The Plasson Universal Metric/Rural Tapping Saddle provides a quick and reliable way to make threaded branch connections on new or existing pipelines. Supplied in a 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.

Built with a strong polypropylene body and a precision-moulded NBR rubber O-ring seal, these saddles deliver secure, leak-free connections even when pipe surfaces are irregular. Fitted with stainless steel bolts, they provide superior corrosion resistance and long service life, making them the ideal choice for buried or chemically aggressive environments.

Quick and easy to install, Plasson saddles feature retaining clips that hold the bolts in place during assembly, preventing loss and simplifying installation. With a pressure rating of up to PN16, they are a robust and reliable solution for agricultural, municipal, and industrial water networks.

INSTALLATION

• 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.
