Romac 286-090562 Double Strap Saddle 8x1.5 in Ss Nylon

Product Description

The ROMAC 286-090562 is a double strap pipe saddle designed for tapping into 8-inch steel or cast iron water mains and distribution lines. The body is constructed from nylon with stainless steel straps, giving it strong corrosion resistance for buried or exposed service conditions. It accepts a 1-1/2 inch female iron pipe thread (FIPT) tap connection and is rated to a maximum working pressure of 350 psi. This fitting is typically installed by licensed plumbers or waterworks contractors performing service line tie-ins or branch connections on municipal and commercial water systems.

This saddle is suited for wet taps and service connections on 8-inch steel or cast iron pipe in municipal water distribution, industrial water supply, and commercial plumbing applications. The double strap design provides uniform clamping load around the pipe barrel, making it appropriate for pressurized mains where a secure, leak-free seal is required. It is compliant with AWWA C-800 standards, which govern underground service line materials for water distribution.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or waterworks technician in accordance with local plumbing codes and AWWA standards. Depressurize or isolate the line where required by local code before installation, and confirm pipe OD measurements before ordering to ensure proper saddle fit. Tighten strap nuts evenly and incrementally to achieve uniform seating around the pipe without over-stressing the nylon body. Follow all applicable AWWA and local authority requirements for pressure testing after tap completion.
