Hinged Pipe Saddle, 2-1/2 in, 1-1/4 in FNPT

FORD Saddles are cast from certified 85-5-5-5 waterworks brass and machined to rigid specifications. Their ample width and preformed radius provide greater distribution of clamping pressures to avoid crushing the pipe. Design "A" (hinged) saddles install as a single unit with no loose parts to lose in the ditch. The upper and lower castings are permanently hinged together with a silicon bronze pin and the silicon bronze bolt has a retainer on it to prevent loss during shipment and installation. The retainer tag identifies the tap style and size. The lower casting is tapped to accept the bolt so that nuts are not required. PVC pipe may expand under high pressure causing damage to over-tightened saddles. FORD convenient marking system quickly and easily identifies the type of thread in the boss. For AWWA tapered thread, the top of the boss has a machined groove around the top outside edge while the boss for iron pipe thread is smooth.
