Ductile Saddle – DR 1A/DR 2A and DR 1S/DR 2S

HYMAX service saddles, available in bronze and ductile iron, are used for making convenient, dependable service line connections on water mains. Different styles are available for use on virtually every type of pipe. All utilize an O-ring contained in a dimensionally controlled groove to eliminate creep and possible seal blowout. 

HYMAX ductile iron or bronze saddles feature strap configurations and saddle body shapes that allow nearly 360° pipe contact for a strong grip that resists movement. Large wrench surfaces on the saddle’s boss support tightening loads during corporation valve installation. Availability includes AWWA taper threads (CC) or AWWA IP threads in 3/4” through 2” tapping sizes.

• Alloy straps are standard. Optional 304L stainless steel straps are available. Strap threads are rolled, for added strength and quick installation by allowing nuts to spin on easily
• Washers are provided under each nut to protect the coating. Stainless steel washers and fluorocarbon-coated nuts are used with optional stainless steel strap
• Thick tapping boss is precision-machined for pressure-tight connections that resist pullout or breakage
