Value Collection 466E-418 Pvc Pipe Saddle Epdm O-ring 4x1-1/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 466E-418 is a PVC clamp-on pipe saddle fitting designed for tapping into existing Schedule 40 PVC pipe runs. The saddle clamps onto a 4-inch outside-diameter pipe and provides a 1-1/4-inch socket-end outlet connection, sealed with an EPDM O-ring to maintain a leak-resistant joint. The PVC body resists corrosion and chemical degradation, making it well suited for potable water, irrigation, and light industrial piping systems. Licensed plumbers and pipe fitters install this fitting when adding a branch connection to an existing line without cutting and rejoining the main pipe.

This saddle fitting is used in residential and commercial plumbing, irrigation distribution, and pool or spa piping where a branch tap is needed on a 4-inch Schedule 40 PVC main line. The 1-1/4-inch socket outlet accepts standard Schedule 40 solvent-weld fittings, allowing a straightforward branch tie-in. The recommended hole size to drill into the host pipe prior to installation is 1-3/4 inches. It is appropriate for above-grade and below-grade installations where PVC is code-approved for the service.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or addition fitting for Schedule 40 PVC piping systems with a 4-inch main pipe outside diameter and a 1-1/4-inch branch outlet requirement.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipe fitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes. Depressurize and drain the affected section of pipe before drilling the tap hole or securing the saddle clamp. Drill a clean 1-3/4-inch hole at the tap location before positioning the saddle to ensure proper O-ring seating. Apply solvent cement to the socket outlet connection per the fitting manufacturer and ASTM D2564 guidelines; do not pressurize the system until the cure time specified by the cement manufacturer has elapsed.
