Romac 283-090572 101NS Service Saddle 8 Inch Thread

Product Description

The ROMAC 283-090572 is a Series 101NS service saddle designed for tapping into 8-inch nominal pipe with a threaded outlet connection. Constructed with a ductile iron clamp body and finished with a fusion bonded nylon coating, it delivers corrosion resistance suited to buried or exposed waterworks installations. The saddle is rated up to 350 psi and uses 5/8-inch 304 stainless steel bolts for clamping. A nitrile butadiene rubber gasket provides a reliable seal at the pipe interface. This is a domestically manufactured fitting installed by licensed plumbers and waterworks contractors on distribution and service line work.

The 283-090572 is used in water distribution systems where a service tap must be added to an existing main without a full line shutdown. The threaded outlet accommodates standard corporation stop connections for residential and light commercial service laterals. The ductile iron body and nylon coating make it well suited for direct-bury applications in soil environments where corrosion is a concern. Installation is performed by waterworks plumbers and utility contractors following applicable local codes and water authority specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or waterworks contractors. Shut off system pressure and relieve line pressure before tapping where required by local authority. Torque bolts evenly in alternating sequence to achieve uniform gasket compression without over-stressing the clamp body. Verify the outlet thread type matches the corporation stop before completing the connection, and follow applicable IPC or local water authority standards for service saddle installations.
