Romac 136-073072 Saddle Clamp 6 in Pipe 2 in Tap

Product Description

The ROMAC 136-073072 is a saddle clamp designed for tapping into 6-inch water distribution pipe. It provides a secure, leak-resistant connection point for branch service lines and is built to ANSI C800 and AWWA C-800 standards. The clamp body uses 304 stainless steel hardware combined with an NBR rubber gasket seal, delivering corrosion resistance and a reliable pressure seal on the pipe exterior. The 2-inch FIPT tap outlet accepts standard threaded fittings for service connections. This product is installed by licensed plumbers and water utility contractors working on potable water distribution systems.

This saddle clamp is used in municipal water distribution, commercial site utilities, and residential service lateral installations where a branch tap is needed on an existing 6-inch main. The FIPT end connections on both the fitting and the tap outlet allow direct threaded assembly without adapters in most configurations. NSF certification makes it suitable for potable water applications. Typical install scenarios include adding meter services, fire suppression branch lines, or irrigation supply connections off a 6-inch main.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and service saddle for 6-inch water distribution pipe requiring a 2-inch FIPT tapped branch outlet in potable water systems meeting AWWA C-800 and ANSI C800 requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified water utility technician in accordance with local plumbing codes and AWWA standards. Depressurize and isolate the pipe section before mounting the saddle clamp whenever possible, or follow wet-tap procedures if the system must remain live. Ensure the pipe exterior is clean and free of debris before seating the NBR gasket to achieve a proper seal. Tighten hardware evenly in a cross pattern to avoid gasket distortion or uneven clamping force.
