Spears 463-010 Pvc Sch 40 Snap-on Saddle 1 Inch

Product Description

The SPEARS 463-010 is a Schedule 40 PVC snap-on saddle fitting designed to add a 1-inch socket branch connection to existing IPS outside-diameter PVC piping. The fitting installs directly onto the outside of an existing pipe run without requiring a full pipe section replacement, making it a practical solution when a molded saddle connection is specified during new work or retrofit installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in both residential and light commercial applications. The PVC Schedule 40 construction provides adequate pressure ratings for standard service conditions in typical water distribution and drainage systems.

This saddle fitting is suited for use on IPS outside-diameter PVC pipe in plumbing, irrigation, industrial process piping, and pool and spa distribution systems. It is specified when a branch tap is needed on an existing run and field cutting a tee is not practical or permitted. The snap-on design reduces installation time compared to solvent-welded tee configurations requiring pipe removal. The 1-inch socket outlet accepts standard 1-inch PVC pipe or fittings joined with solvent cement per manufacturer and code requirements.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for use on Schedule 40 IPS outside-diameter PVC pipe systems requiring a 1-inch socket branch outlet.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with local plumbing codes and ASTM standards for PVC solvent-cement joints. Depressurize and drain the existing pipe before mounting the saddle. Use only PVC solvent cement rated for Schedule 40 pipe on the socket outlet connection. Follow solvent cement cure times before returning the line to service.
