Features

• Ford Style S70 Saddles are cast from certified 85-5-5-5 waterworks brass and machined to rigid specifications. Their ample width and preformed radius provides greater distribution of clamping pressures to avoid crushing the pipe. Design “A” (hinged) saddles install as a single unit with no loose parts to lose in the ditch. (Designs may vary, see below.) The upper and lower castings are permanently hinged together with silicon bronze pin and the silicon bronze bolt has a retainer on it to prevent loss during shipment and installation. The retainer tag identifies the tap style and size. The lower casting is tapped to accept the bolt so that nuts are not required. PVC pipe may expand under high pressure causing damage to over-tightened saddles. BSP, British Standard Pipe, threads are available by request.
