The Poly-Cam Series 415 Side Fusion Tapping Saddle offers a heavy-duty, low-profile solution for creating secure branch connections on HDPE pipelines. Designed with a barbed mechanical structure, this saddle is hydraulically compressed into polyethylene or copolymer piping for a tight, high-strength bond. A stainless steel compression ring boosts pullout resistance, while the female-threaded outlet provides a reliable interface for corporation stops or valves.
The 1.5\\” DIPS base is engineered for use with standard side fusion equipment and can be field-machined to precisely match the radius of HDPE mains, allowing for jobsite customization and long-term reliability under thermal and pressure fluctuations.
With a pressure rating of 335 PSI and a minimum 50-year design life at 73.4°F (23°C) with a 2:1 safety factor, this tapping saddle is ideal for both municipal and industrial HDPE applications.
