Ductile iron saddle fittings connect branch lines or service lines to existing or new pipes. They eliminate the need to cut the main pipe. Water and gas systems commonly use these fittings. They provide a strong, economical alternative to full tee fittings or welded bosses. Each fitting includes a ductile iron body, a sealing gasket, and securing straps. The gasket forms a watertight seal for a reliable connection. A threaded outlet supports branch lines, air valves, or property taps.
