Tapping Saddles for Hot Tapping

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 htese saddles provides strength and mass for long term service.

The 402 and 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.

Built-in benefits make these heavy fabricated steel sleeves increasingly popular for making larger taps on all types of pipe. By placing the design emphasis on eliminating problems inherent with older pipe and field installations, 412 Tapping Sleeves have taken the complexity out of tapping larger pipe.

Built in range assures proper fit on more than one class of pipe - reducing inventory requirements and the chance of not having the right size sleeve. Ease of assembly eliminates extra equipment, time and specially trained personnel. Ready availability means taps can be made with out long delays - even taps on special sizes of pipe - or services requiring high pressure flanges.

EXTRA BOLTING POWER...The true tapping sleeve design of this sleeve incorporates replaceable, self-aligning bolts, which facilitate conversion of high bolt torques to high gasket pressure, can be torqued to 125 ft. lbs. This increases gasket sealing pressure and pressure holding capability. The extra bolting power assures thegasket will seal the full circumference of the pipe. This provides insuranceagainst beam breaks in size on size taps. Molded in recessed bridge plateassures even gasket pressure throughout the range of the sleeve. Extra strength eliminates possible cracking of the sleeve or flange. Reduced weight speeds installation and reduces the load placed on the pipe. Extra width and heavier neck and body material provide extra reinforcement of the outlet and extra stability during the tapping process. All stainless construction provides extra corrosion resistance. The stainless steel flange, outlet and body join as one unit of similar metals for highest structural strength and corrosion resistance.
