406 Coated Service Saddle with Double Stainless Steel Straps

Service Saddles provide a quick, dependable means of tapping pipe for branch connections of 1/2” through 2-1/2”. Use of economical JCM Service Saddle eliminate problems common to direct taps, such as leaking threads or split pipe, and reinforces the critical connection.

High Pressure performance is assured by the broad, pressure activated gasket. Permanently set in a retaining cavity, the contoured gasket produce a positive initial seal which increases with a increase in line pressure.

These service saddles are designed for maximum safety and performance. The wrap around design, wide skirt and wide straps support and reinforce the pip while providing excellent stability to the saddle. The heavy duty design of these saddles provides strength and mass for long term service.

The 406 saddles, with their wide bodies and large sealed outlet areas, provide an excellent means of repairing holes, pin holes and leaking 3/4" and 1" direct taps.
