RAPID TAPPING SADDLE FOR POLYETHYLENE (PE)
RAPID TAPPING SADDLE FOR POLYETHYLENE (PE)
Our CT tapping saddles for PE pipe have been manufactured to conform to AS- 4973 for Type F pipe. These tapping saddles incorporate a positive stop to prevent diametral deflection or crushing of the pipe and are specifically designed to suit PE pipe.
They are the ideal solution for a branch connection from existing pipes, installed without having to shut off supply. Our patented Nitrile rubber gaskets are embedded with a stainless-steel disc, they include an O-ring and lip seal ensuring a superior seal.

GASKET
Nitrile, to AS1646 and AS4020 standards specially formulated for water service, gas and oil. The gasket is specially designed with a static seal and a dynamic lip seal. Also incorporated into the seal is an internal stainless steel retaining disc, which prevents the seal and mat from extruding out, under extreme internal pressure. The specially designed seal allows for pipe outside diameter changes, caused by pressurizing and depressurizing of the pipe.
