Double Strap Pipe Saddle, 12 in, 1 in FNPT

FORD double strap or band saddles are recommended for larger taps and for use on larger O.D. pipe. Double strap saddles equalize the pressure on the pipe and can be used on asbestos-cement, cast or ductile iron pipe. The FC style is recommended for use in corrosive areas and the stainless steel bands are especially recommended for use on PVC pipe. FORD FC Style saddles should be pre-sized when used on PVC pipe. Pre-sized saddles will conform to the PVC pipe O.D. without placing undue stress on the pipe. A separate listing of FC202 saddles sized for PVC is shown on the following page. The FORD Meter Box Company endorses full compliance with the standard tapping practices and recommended material requirements for tapping PVC pipe outlined in Uni-Bell Handbook of PVC Pipe and AWWA Manual M23. Improperly sized saddles and saddles with narrow straps are not for use on PVC pipe. If properly sized to the PVC pipe O.D., FC saddles meet the stipulations of AWWA and Uni-Bell for use on PVC pipe.
