Romac 292-090542 Bronze Dual Strap Saddle 8 in Pipe

Product Description

The ROMAC 292-090542 is a Style 202B dual strap bronze saddle fitting designed for tapping into 8-inch water mains and distribution piping. It accepts a 1-inch NPT threaded tap outlet and is constructed from C83600 silicon bronze, a material well suited for potable water and municipal distribution applications. The saddle secures to the pipe with two straps for even clamping load and a leak-free seal. This fitting is compliant with AWWA C-800 standards and is manufactured domestically. Plumbers and waterworks contractors install this type of saddle when adding a new service tap to an existing main without full-line interruption.

The 292-090542 is used in water service installations where a new branch connection must be made to an existing 8-inch pipe. The dual strap design distributes clamping force evenly around the pipe circumference, making it suitable for residential and commercial water main tapping applications. It is commonly installed by licensed plumbers and waterworks crews in municipal, commercial, and light industrial water distribution systems. The NPT outlet is compatible with standard threaded service fittings and tapping valves.
