PVC Saddle Tee
The PVC saddle tee is a device typically installed on main pipes, usually PVC, to enable connection to smaller pipes or to attach devices such as faucets or water taps. It is typically fixed by welding or mechanical bonding to the main pipe and features a side opening through which sub-pipes or additional connections can be installed.
The main types of saddles are:
- Connection saddles: Used to connect one pipe to another or to create additional branches, such as saddles with a three-way or four-way connection.
- Mounting saddles: Used to secure pipes to walls or floors to provide stability and prevent vibration.
- Repair saddles: Used to repair damage or leaks in pipes without the need to replace them entirely.
Thanks to PVC saddle tees properties such as corrosion resistance, ease of installation, and low cost, plastic pipe saddles have become a popular choice in many industries. They are vital components in piping systems, providing additional connections to extend pipes or install devices in various networks such as sewage, irrigation, and water systems.
