The saddle clamps to the outside of the pipe and provides a secure, leak-resistant outlet for branch connections in water distribution systems. Built from brass, this saddle offers corrosion resistance suited to underground and pressurized water service environments. It is installed by licensed plumbers and water utility technicians as part of new service lateral installations or main line tapping work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis saddle is sized for pipes with an outside diameter range of 4.80 to 5.10 inches, covering standard 4-inch iron pipe main lines.
