Romac 292-174042 Bronze Saddle 17.40 X 1 Inch Ip

Product Description

The ROMAC 292-174042 is a bronze saddle fitting designed for pipe repair and branch connection applications in water distribution and plumbing systems. This saddle mounts over an existing pipe and provides a threaded outlet port in a 1 inch iron pipe (IP) size, allowing a new branch line to be tapped without full pipe replacement. With a pipe fit range of 17.40 inches, it is sized for large-diameter main lines. Licensed plumbers and waterworks contractors are the primary installers. The bronze construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for potable water and general utility service.

This saddle fitting is used in municipal water distribution, commercial plumbing, and industrial piping applications where a branch tap or service connection is needed on an existing large-diameter pipe. The 1 inch IP threaded outlet accepts standard iron pipe thread fittings for connecting service lines or metering equipment. It is suited for both new construction and repair or retrofit work on mainline pipe runs.
