More Information:

The Smith-Blair 315 Service Saddle is a robust and reliable single-strap saddle designed for creating secure service connections on various types of piping, particularly for PVC and other softer or brittle pipe materials. Constructed from durable ductile iron, it is engineered for long-lasting performance in water distribution, irrigation, and other utility systems. The service saddle incorporates Smith-Blair’s TaperSeal™ gasket technology and features a wraparound 304 stainless steel strap, providing added corrosion resistance and ensuring that the saddle performs well in harsh environments.

One of the key features of the Smith-Blair 315 Service Saddle is its TaperSeal™ gasket, which is fully bonded to the cavity, ensuring that it remains securely in place during installation and service. This gasket design improves sealing performance, reducing the risk of leaks at the point of connection. The saddle accommodates a range of outlets from 5/8″ to 2″ in size, and larger threaded outlets are available up to 4″, making it versatile for various application needs. Additionally, the product meets applicable AWWA C800 standards, which guarantees its suitability for potable water systems and other utility applications.

The design of the saddle prioritizes stability and protection for the pipe. Its wide saddle body distributes the load over a larger surface area, reducing stress on the pipe when the strap is tightened. This feature is particularly important when working with softer or more brittle pipes like PVC, as it helps to prevent damage or cracking during installation. By spreading the load, the saddle minimizes the potential for pipe deformation, ensuring a secure fit without compromising the integrity of the pipe.

Another key feature of the Smith-Blair 315 Service Saddle is its ease of installation. The closed lug on one side of the saddle, combined with the strap, functions as a hinge, allowing for quick and easy installation around the pipe. This design minimizes installation time and reduces labor costs, making it an efficient choice for utility workers and contractors. NPT (National Pipe Thread), CC (Corporation Cock), and other threaded outlets are available, providing flexibility for various pipe connections.

In summary, the Smith-Blair 315 Service Saddle offers a durable, corrosion-resistant solution for creating reliable service connections. Its wide saddle body, robust gasket design, and ease of installation make it a versatile and dependable option for water distribution and utility systems.
