Molded Electrofusion Transition Saddle | IPS/DIPS | Fixed & Multi-Base | 3/4"–2" Outlets

Molded Electrofusion Transition Saddle | IPS/DIPS | Fixed & Multi-Base | SDR 11/17 — Product Overview

Electrofusion Transition Saddles provide a reliable, pressure-rated outlet connection from HDPE mains to threaded brass or stainless outlets. Available in both fixed-base and multi-base designs, these saddles are engineered for water, gas, industrial, and mining applications where long-term performance and leak-free operation are critical.

Each saddle is injection molded (not machined from heavy wall pipe or billet) using high-quality PE4710/PE100 resin and incorporates melt-flow indicators for visual confirmation of proper fusion. Threaded outlet options in No-Lead Brass or 316 Stainless Steel are available with CC or NPT thread patterns to match common service line and equipment connections.

Spec Sheet: Refer to the manufacturer’s Electrofusion Transition Saddle specification sheet for complete dimensional and pressure information.

Key Features & Benefits

• HDPE-to-Threaded Transition – Provides a secure, fused connection from PE mains to brass or stainless threaded outlets.
• Injection-Molded Saddle Body – Molded from PE4710/PE100 resin for consistent dimensions and long-term strength.
• No Pre-Heating Required – Designed to fuse reliably even in colder temperatures with standard electrofusion equipment.
• Melt-Flow Indicators – Visual indicators confirm material expansion and proper heat soak during fusion.
• Brass or 316 Stainless Outlets – Choose corrosion-resistant brass or 316 stainless steel outlet materials.
• CC or NPT Threads – Outlet options include CC (compression corporation) or NPT (tapered pipe) threads for common service connections.
• Fixed & Multi-Base Options – Fixed-base saddles match a single main size, while multi-base saddles fit a range of IPS/DIPS pipe diameters to reduce inventory.
• Standards & Approvals – Manufactured in accordance with ASTM F1055 and designed for use in AWWA C901/C906 and NSF/ANSI 61-compliant systems.

How to Select Your Transition Saddle (Variant Options)

• Option 1 – Base Size (Pipe Size): Select the main pipe size or size range (e.g., 2", 4", 6", 8–10", 12–18", 20–22", 20–36").
• Option 2 – Pipe Type: Choose IPS for fixed-base saddles or IPS/DIPS (Multi-Base) where the base is designed to fit multiple IPS and DIPS diameters.
• Option 3 – Outlet (Size | Material | Thread): Select the outlet combination that matches your service connection, such as 3/4" | Brass | CC, 1" | Brass | NPT, or 1" | 316 Stainless | NPT.

Typical Applications

• Municipal water distribution and service connections
• Natural gas and LPG distribution systems
• Industrial and mining process piping
• Rural water and agricultural service lines
• New installations and system upgrades where threaded outlets are required
