Everything you need to know about saddles and their significance
When it comes to piping systems such as irrigation, water distribution, chemical transportation and more, it is often the smallest details that matter the most. Examples of critical details would be the placement of the saddle, which is the perfect fitting for connecting a secondary line to the main line.
Elysée has a full range of high-quality saddles to help make the process of pipe derivation easy, safe and durable even in challenging environments.
What is a saddle and how does it work?
The saddle is the fitting that is connected directly to a main pipe whenever a branch needs to be created without cutting or replacing it. It is easily installed in pipes by placing it around the pipe, connecting the outlet to a secondary line.
This makes saddles ideal for:
- Expanding irrigation or any other networks
- Adding new outlets to existing pipelines
- High-pressure water systems
- Chemical and slurry handling
Built for strength, safety and durability
Elysée saddles are manufactured from high-grade polypropylene, ensuring excellent mechanical strength and long service life. They are designed to perform reliably in outdoor environments and under pressure.
Key benefits include:
- Wide compatibility with pipe diameters from 20mm to 315mm
- Threaded outlets from ½” to 4”, suitable for multiple applications
- Excellent resistance to chemicals, fertilizers, and slurries
- UV resistance, making them ideal for outdoor installations
- Safe for potable water systems
Designed for secure and leak-free performance
Every detail of the Elysée saddle is engineered for reliability:
- Nitrile sealing gaskets (O-Ring or Flat) ensure excellent sealing and chemical resistance
