It accepts a 2-inch NPT tap and is rated to 200 psi, making it suitable for municipal and commercial water service connections. The bronze body resists corrosion in buried and above-grade installations. NSF certified and conforming to AWWA C-800, this fitting meets the standards required on potable water systems. Plumbers, waterworks contractors, and utility crews install this saddle when adding a new service branch or corporation stop to an existing main without taking the line out of service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis saddle is engineered for use on C900 PVC pipe and ductile iron pipe in 8-inch nominal diameter applications. The double strap design distributes clamping load evenly around the pipe barrel, maintaining a leak-free seal at the tap point. With a pipe OD range of 9.05 inches and a strap width of 4.5 inches, it provides solid contact area for high-pressure service work. Typical applications include residential and commercial water service taps, fire line connections, and irrigation main tees on municipal distribution systems.
