Romac 136-069072 Stainless Steel Strap Saddle 6 in 200 Psi

Product Description

The ROMAC 136-069072 is a stainless steel strap saddle designed for making tapped connections on 6-inch IPS pipe. Constructed from 304 stainless steel, it delivers a corrosion-resistant, pressure-rated connection point up to 200 psi. The 2-inch Female Iron Pipe Thread (FIPT) outlet accepts standard threaded fittings, making it a direct-service component for water distribution taps and branch connections. It is NSF certified, confirming it meets health-effects standards for potable water contact. Licensed plumbers and waterworks contractors install this fitting during service line taps, main extensions, and repair work where a reliable saddle connection is required on ferrous or non-ferrous pipe.

This saddle is rated for use on steel, cast iron, plastic, and other pipe types with an outside diameter range of 6.5 inches to 6.9 inches, covering standard 6-inch IPS pipe. It suits residential and commercial water service applications where a branch tap must be made to an existing main without a full line shutdown. Compliance with AWWA C-800 makes it appropriate for municipal and utility distribution systems as well as private water service installations. The stainless steel construction handles buried and above-grade environments.
