Description
The Tapping Saddle is an advanced industrial electrofusion fitting designed for seamless integration with HDPE poly pipe systems, ensuring a reliable and efficient connection for 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 performance in pressurised systems, the Tapping Saddle stands out for its durability and reliability, providing peace of mind for professionals in the field.
