Product Information
Fernco have designed a dedicated range of saddles for connecting lateral pipes into larger concrete or clay pipelines. The products are designed to be as universal as possible, covering multiple sizes and brands of pipes to create permanent, reliable watertight seals.
Saddles offer the same solution as pipe junctions, for example, lateral pipes from new build houses, road gullies etc, need to be connected into the system mains. Both saddles and junctions offer this connection but with clear differences in the installation methods.
T-Piece: Excavation of the existing main pipeline around the entire external surface area, a section of pipe cut and removed, and pipe junction lifted into place and connected.
Saddle method: excavation to a small top section of the main pipeline, a core hole created and the saddle connected into the cored hole.
Here are some of the benefits:
- Lower costs compared to other connections
- No need to expose the pipe, the pipe bed remains undamaged
- Easy, simple handling for quick installation
- No special tools required
