About Electrofusion Service Saddle
An Electrofusion Service Saddle is a specialized fitting used in High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) piping systems to create a branch connection on an existing pipeline. The saddle-shaped body has a threaded or plain outlet for connecting the branch service line, while the electrofusion coupling allows for the fusion welding of the saddle to the main pipeline. It is commonly used in water supply, irrigation, and industrial piping applications where a new service line needs to be connected to the main pipeline. Electrofusion Service Saddle can accommodate pipes of different sizes and materials, providing flexibility in system design and installation.

Reliable Electrofusion ConnectionThis service saddle employs state-of-the-art electrofusion technology, ensuring a secure and durable joint with PE pipelines. The copper wire winding is visible, allowing operators to confirm proper placement and welding. With a minimum fusion time of 60 seconds (depending on model), installation is straightforward and fast, resulting in a leak-proof and lasting connection.
Versatility and ComplianceThe saddle is designed to fit a wide range of pipe sizes, supporting diameters from 63 mm to 315 mm, and outlet sizes up to 32 mm. Manufactured from high-grade PE100 material and adhering to ISO 4427 and DIN 8074 standards, it delivers proven performance for both water and gas infrastructure projects. WRAS approval further affirms its suitability for potable water applications.
Durability and PerformanceEngineered for longevity, this product resists corrosion and UV degradation, remaining effective across temperatures between -5C and +40C. The fusion-welded seal, robust mechanical strength, and moderate flexibility ensure consistent service over decades. Backed by a warranty, it provides peace of mind and reduces maintenance in demanding environments.
FAQ's of Electrofusion Service Saddle:
Q: How is the Electrofusion Service Saddle installed?
A: The saddle is installed using an electrofusion welding machine. After proper positioning and preparation, electric current passes through the visible copper winding, fusing the saddle to the pipe. This process ensures a strong, leak-proof joint.
Q: What types of pipes and outlet sizes can the saddle be used with?
A: It is compatible with main pipes ranging from 63 mm to 315 mm in outer diameter. Three outlet sizes are available: 20 mm, 25 mm, and 32 mm, with the specific size dependent on the model selected.
Q: What are the primary applications of this service saddle?
A: It is used for branching or offtake in PE water and gas pipelines, making it suitable for use in water supply infrastructure and gas distribution systems.
Q: What benefits does the visible electrofusion indicator provide during installation?
A: The visible copper wire winding ensures proper alignment and reliable welding, allowing installers to visually confirm that the fusion process is conducted correctly, improving installation accuracy and safety.
Q: What standards and certifications does the product comply with?
A: The service saddle is WRAS approved and certified to ISO 4427 and DIN 8074 standards, confirming its suitability for potable water and gas applications and adherence to international quality and safety benchmarks.
Q: How long is the product expected to last under standard conditions?
A: When installed under recommended conditions, the service saddle offers a lifespan exceeding 50 years, thanks to its corrosion resistance, UV protection, and robust PE100 material.
