Schedule 80 Saddles

CLAMP-ON SADDLES
Simple Two-Piece Design Engineered for Reliability

Spears® PVC 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.

Excellent Metal-to-Plastic System Transition

Easily installs on metal pipe as a transition to plastic system.
PVC Tee or Cross Con¿gurations
Available in PVC White, PVC Gray in 2" - 12" IPS pipe saddle with socket outlets in sizes 1/2" - 6" and Special Reinforced (SR)
threaded outlets in sizes 1/2" - 6", single Tee or double Cross con¿gurations.
Patented SR Design Female Threads
Patented Special Reinforced (SR) design on female thread outlets for superior strength.
O-ring Options
Choice of high grade Buna-N or EPDM O-rings for Schedule 40 and EPDM or FKM O-rings for Schedule 80, for application speci¿c
selection for optimum chemical resistance.
Multi-Bolt Design, Choice of Hardware
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.
Excellent Pressure Capabilities
Maximum internal pressure rating of 235 psi through 4", 200 psi for 6", and 150 psi for 8" - 12" at 73°F.

Sample Engineering SpeciÀcation

All thermoplastic saddles shall be clamp-on type with O-ring seal constructed from PVC Type I cell classi¿cation 12454. All O-rings shall be Buna-N, EPDM or FKM. All saddles shall be
piloted at O-ring area for positive positioning in pipe. All bolt clamping hardware shall be zinc plated steel or stainless steel. All threaded saddle outlets shall be Special Reinforced (SR)
design. Saddles shall be pressure rated at 235 psi for use on pipe sizes through 4" nominal IPS diameters, 200 psi for use on 6" pipe, and 150 psi for use on 8" - 12" pipe, maximum
internal pressure for water at 73°F, as manufactured by Spears® Manufacturing Company.

Clamp-On Saddle Installation Instructions

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: Certain saddle outlets are piloted. Be sure pilot lip fully
engages with hole in pipe.
Drill Pilot Hole
before using
3. Place strap component opposite outlet and secure with bolts (4), nuts (4) and washers (8). Hole Saw.
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.
