Value Collection 466E-337 Pvc Pipe Saddle Epdm O-ring 3x1.5in Sch40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 466E-337 is a Schedule 40 PVC clamp-on pipe saddle with an EPDM O-ring, designed to add a branch outlet connection to an existing pipe run without cutting the line. The saddle clamps directly onto a 3-inch pipe O.D. and provides a 1-1/2-inch socket end outlet. The EPDM O-ring creates a reliable, watertight seal at the saddle interface. This fitting is installed by plumbers, irrigation technicians, and pool service professionals working with Schedule 40 PVC systems. Weighing 1.38 pounds, it is a practical, low-disruption solution for tapping into an existing main without full pipe replacement.

The 466E-337 saddle is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving Schedule 40 PVC piping, including irrigation mains, pool and spa plumbing, and general water distribution lines. The clamp-on design allows a branch tap to be made on an active line segment. The recommended hole size for drilling the main pipe before saddle installation is 2-1/4 inches. The socket end outlet accepts standard 1-1/2-inch Schedule 40 PVC pipe or fittings using solvent cement.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified irrigation and pool technicians. Before drilling the main pipe, shut off flow and depressurize the line. Use a 2-1/4-inch hole saw to prepare the main pipe opening, then clean the pipe O.D. surface before seating the saddle and O-ring. The branch outlet connection uses standard PVC solvent cement applied per the fitting and cement manufacturer instructions, and all work should conform to applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements.
