PVC & CPVC CLAMP-ON SADDLES

Simple Two-Piece Design Engineered for Reliability
COS-2-0500

Spears PVC & CPVC Clamp-On Saddles allow quick, easy and reliable addition of branch lines to existing piping system lines. These versatile saddle units can be used in either temporary or permanent installations on all types of pipe with IPS (Iron Pipe size) outside diameter, such as PVC, CPVC, Polyethylene, Polypropylene and Steel.
O-ring seal provides positive, trouble-free sealing to pipe.

Easily installs on metal pipe as a transition to plastic system.

Excellent Metal-to-Plastic System Transition PVC & CPVC Tee or Cross

Available in PVC Schedule 40 and PVC or CPVC Schedule 80 in 2" - 6" pipe saddle with choice of slip or Steel Reinforced (SR) thread outlet sizes ranging from 1/2" through 4" with single Tee or double Cross outlets. Patented Stainless Steel Reinforced (SR) design on female thread outlets for superior strength. Choice of high grade Buna-N or EPDM O-rings for Schedule 40 and EPDM or Viton O-rings for Schedule 80, for application specific selection for optimum chemical resistance. Positive attachment eliminates splitting problems associated with plastic wedge fasteners and outperforms 2-Bolt clamp saddle designs. Choose zinc plated or stainless steel nut, bolt and washer hardware. Maximum internal pressure rating of 235 psi through 4" and 200 psi for 6" at 73F.

1. Using a standard industrial grade hole-saw, cut specified hole in desired position on pipe according to recommended hole saw size engraved on the saddle. Note: Care must be taken to deburr hole and remove all residue from hole area to assure tight fit and avoid leakage. 2. Fully seat O-ring in groove on underside of saddle outlet component. Position over hole and fully seat saddle onto pipe. Note: Saddle outlets are piloted. Be sure pilot lip fully engages with hole in pipe. 3. Place strap component opposite outlet and secure with bolts (4), nuts (4) and washers (8). Important: Washers MUST be placed under each bolt head (1) and under each nut (1) to avoid damage to saddle. 4. Tighten bolts to specified torque:
