Molded Electrofusion Branch Saddle | IPS & DIPS | 2″–12″ Outlets

Molded Electrofusion Branch Saddle | IPS & DIPS | 2″–12″ Outlets — Product Overview

Integrity Fusion Molded Electrofusion Branch Saddles provide durable, pressure-rated tapping connections for IPS and DIPS HDPE pipelines. Available in outlet sizes from 2″ through 12″, these saddles are injection-molded using high-quality PE4710/PE100 bi-modal resin for long-term strength, reliability, and performance.

Each saddle is injection-molded for exceptional dimensional accuracy and consistent fusion characteristics—superior to fabricated or machined designs. The product line includes fixed-base saddles (single pipe OD) and multi-base saddles that cover multiple pipe diameters, simplifying installation and reducing required inventory.

Key Features & Benefits

• Injection-Molded Construction — Delivers consistent melt-flow behavior and superior structural integrity versus machined or fabricated saddles.
• PE4710/PE100 Resin — High-performance bi-modal material provides increased toughness, long-term pressure capability, and reliable fusion results.
• Flexible Base Options — Offered in both fixed-base and multi-base configurations to fit a wide range of IPS and DIPS pipe diameters.
• Precision Fusion Performance — Optimized saddle geometry promotes uniform melt cooling, alignment, and high-strength fusion bonds.
• Easy Installation — Compatible with standard electrofusion control boxes for dependable, repeatable installations.
• Common Applications — Water and wastewater systems, fire protection, industrial piping, municipal systems, and general utility installations.
• Standards Compliance — PE4710/PE100 resin meets AWWA C906, ASTM F1055, FM 1613, and NSF/ANSI 61. FM 200 / FM 232 where indicated.
