Value Collection 466E-249 Pvc Clamp on Saddle 2x1 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 466E-249 is a PVC clamp-on saddle fitting designed for branching off an existing pipe run without cutting the main line. It features an EPDM O-ring seal that compresses against the outside diameter of the main pipe to form a leak-resistant connection. The outlet accepts a socket-end connection, making it straightforward to integrate into a standard Schedule 40 PVC piping system. This fitting is sized for a 2-inch main pipe with a 1-inch branch outlet. Plumbers and irrigation technicians install this type of fitting on water distribution, irrigation, and low-pressure fluid systems where adding a branch tap is required.

This saddle fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation laterals, and pool or spa plumbing applications where a Schedule 40 PVC main line is in service. The clamp-on design allows the branch to be added to an existing 2-inch pipe without draining the entire system in many service scenarios. The socket outlet accepts standard PVC fittings and pipe solvent-welded per typical practice. A 1-1/8 inch hole must be drilled into the main pipe prior to installation.

Key Features

• Clamp-on saddle design adds a branch outlet to an existing 2-inch PVC main pipe
• EPDM O-ring provides a compressed, leak-resistant seal against the pipe outside diameter
• Socket end outlet accepts standard Schedule 40 PVC pipe and fittings
• Compatible with Schedule 40 pipe at 2-inch nominal size
• Requires a 1-1/8 inch pilot hole in the main pipe before saddle installation
• Lightweight PVC construction resists corrosion in wet and chemical environments

Compatibility

Designed for use with 2-inch nominal Schedule 40 PVC pipe with a pipe O.D. inlet connection and a 1-inch socket end branch outlet.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or experienced irrigation technicians. Shut off and relieve pressure from the main line before drilling the required 1-1/8 inch hole and securing the saddle. Solvent-weld the branch outlet connections using PVC primer and cement per the pipe and fitting manufacturer instructions and applicable plumbing code requirements. Torque the saddle clamp fasteners evenly to ensure uniform O-ring compression without over-tightening the plastic body.
