Description
The Tapping Saddle is a high-performance industrial electrofusion fitting designed for seamless integration with HDPE poly pipe systems, ensuring reliable and efficient connections in various applications. This innovative fitting utilises embedded heating wires that are energised by an electrofusion control unit, employing resistive electrofusion welding to create a robust bond with the polyethylene pipe surface. Compatible with a range of electrofusion control units, butt-weld pipework, and stub flange kits, the Tapping Saddle guarantees leak-free permanent joints that are essential for maintaining system integrity. Its traceable jointing process enhances accountability and quality assurance, making it ideal for both trench and confined-space work. With proven reliability in pressurised systems, the Tapping Saddle stands out as a superior choice for professionals seeking durable and efficient solutions in their piping infrastructure.
