Series 415 Side Fusion Tapping Saddle | 3" Base | IPS
Series 415 Side Fusion Tapping Saddle | 3" Base | IPS — Product Overview
The Poly-Cam Series 415 Side Fusion Tapping Saddle provides a heavy-duty, low-profile solution for tapping into HDPE mains. This mechanically barbed saddle is hydraulically compressed into polyethylene or pipe-grade copolymer material, creating a high-strength mechanical seal. A stainless steel compression ring further boosts pullout resistance, while the female-threaded outlet supports reliable valve or corporation stop installation.
Designed to work with standard side fusion equipment, the 3" pivot base can be field-machined to match the radius of HDPE mains from 2" to 63" in diameter. The result is a secure, custom fit ideal for long-term performance in high-pressure and thermally variable environments.
With a full pressure rating of 335 PSI and a 50-year minimum design life at 73.4°F (23°C) with a 2:1 safety factor, this tapping saddle is well-suited for demanding industrial and municipal applications.
