Mueller Industries dr2s0854cc100 Pipe Saddle 8 in

Product Description

The MUELLER INDUSTRIES dr2s0854cc100 is a double strap pipe saddle designed for tapping into 8-inch diameter water mains and distribution piping. It provides a secure, reinforced connection point using a 1-inch CC tapered thread outlet, allowing service line taps to be made without compromising the structural integrity of the host pipe. The double strap design distributes clamping load evenly around the pipe circumference, reducing stress concentration at the tap point. This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers and water distribution technicians working on municipal or commercial water service connections.

This pipe saddle is suited for use on 8-inch nominal diameter water distribution mains in residential service lateral installations and commercial water service projects. The 1-inch CC tapered thread connection accommodates standard corporation stops and service fittings used in water utility work. It is commonly specified in new service installations and main extensions where a reliable branch takeoff is required without cutting or replacing the main line.

Key Features

• Double strap design provides even clamping force on 8-inch nominal pipe
• 1-inch CC tapered thread outlet for direct connection to corporation stops and service valves
• Reinforced saddle body supports the tap point under operating pressure
• Designed for water distribution main tapping applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit saddle for 8-inch nominal diameter water distribution pipe with a 1-inch CC tapered thread service connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or water utility technician in accordance with local plumbing codes and AWWA guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the main line or use approved tapping procedures before securing the saddle straps. Ensure the saddle seats squarely on the pipe and that both straps are tightened evenly to achieve a leak-free seal before making the threaded tap. Thread engagement should be inspected after installation and pressure-tested per applicable code requirements.
