Jcm Industries 432-0690X4 Tap Sleeve Pipe Saddle 6 in 4 in

Product Description

The JCM INDUSTRIES 432-0690X4 is a tap sleeve pipe saddle designed for making branch connections on existing pressurized mains without requiring a full shutdown of the line. This saddle fits a 6-inch nominal pipe and terminates with a 4-inch flanged outlet, allowing a licensed plumber or waterworks contractor to add a service tap or branch line in a controlled, leak-free manner. It is a standard tool-of-the-trade fitting for municipal water distribution, industrial piping, and commercial plumbing applications where hot-tap or live-service connections are required.

This tap sleeve is suited for use on 6-inch mains in both buried and accessible above-grade installations. Typical applications include water main service extensions, fire protection branch ties, and industrial process piping modifications. The 4-inch flanged connection accommodates standard flange-mounted valves, gate valves, and line stops, making integration into an existing system straightforward for waterworks and mechanical contractors.

Key Features

• 6-inch nominal pipe saddle sizing for standard main pipe dimensions
• 4-inch flanged outlet for direct valve or fitting connection
• Tap sleeve design supports branch connections on live or pressurized lines
• Flanged outlet provides secure, bolt-on interface with standard ANSI flanged components
• Suitable for waterworks, municipal, and industrial piping applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style tap sleeve saddle for 6-inch nominal pipe with a 4-inch flanged branch outlet, compatible with standard flanged valves and fittings meeting applicable ANSI flange dimensional requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or waterworks contractor familiar with hot-tap and live-service procedures. Depressurize and isolate the line whenever possible before fitting the saddle; if a live tap is required, follow all applicable local codes and use appropriate pressure-rated equipment. Verify bolt torque patterns and gasket seating per standard flanged joint practice before returning the line to service. Refer to AWWA and applicable local codes for installation requirements on potable water systems.
