Romac 286-048062 Double Strap Saddle 4 in Pipe 1-1/2 in Tap

Product Description

The ROMAC 286-048062 is a double strap pipe saddle designed for tapping into 4-inch steel or cast iron pipe. The saddle body is constructed from nylon, while the straps are stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance and secure clamping force. The outlet connection is 1-1/2 inch female iron pipe thread (FIPT), with a maximum working pressure rating of 350 psi. This fitting is installed by plumbing and waterworks contractors on pressurized distribution and service piping where a branch tap is required without cutting out a section of pipe.

This saddle is suited for residential and commercial water service applications involving 4-inch steel or cast iron mains. The stainless steel strap design accommodates the pipe OD range associated with standard 4-inch iron pipe. The FIPT outlet accepts a standard male-threaded corporation stop or valve, making it a common choice for service taps, meter connections, and branch line additions on existing pressurized mains.
