Product Description

The ROMAC 286-066372 is a double strap pipe saddle designed for tapping into water distribution and service lines. It features a nylon body reinforced with stainless steel straps, rated for maximum working pressures up to 350 psi. The 2-inch female iron pipe thread (FIPT) outlet provides a standard connection point for service taps, valves, or corporation stops. This saddle fits 6-inch pipe and is suited for use on steel or cast iron mains. Licensed plumbers and waterworks contractors install this type of fitting in municipal, commercial, and residential water service applications.

This fitting is used where a branch tap needs to be added to an existing 6-inch steel or cast iron pipeline without cutting or replacing the main line. The FIPT outlet accepts standard pipe thread connections, making it compatible with corporation stops and service valves used in water service installations. It meets AWWA C-800 standards, which govern underground service line materials and fittings for potable water systems.
