Tap-N-Tee Saddle
Economical, watertight connections.
The Tap-N-Tee, by Joints, is a pipe connector that links lateral pipe to main line sewer and storm drains. Best performance when connecting to mainline pipes with a wall thickness of 0.5 inches (12.70 mm) or greater. The Tap-N-Tee can accept different lateral pipe outside diameters (O.D.) by utilizing synthetic rubber bushings that compensate for differential lateral pipe O.D. The Tap-N-Tee utilized multiple devices to create a corrosion resistance and watertight seal for any lateral gravity fed pipe connection. Materials, including the rubber sleeve, metal components, and expansion wedge flange, are made to the highest quality standards in the United States of America.
Features
- Provides indexing dimples for proper alignment visible to television inspections inside the main line pipe.
- TAP-N-TEE lateral connector manufactured from synthetic rubber.
- TAP-N-TEE expansion ring manufactured from precision plastic injection ABS/Sch 40 - Thickwall Plastic.
- Stainless steel shear bands are available and strongly recommended when resistance to heavy earth load shear forces and improved alignment is required.
- Series 300 or 316 stainless steel available for compression band and shear band.
- TAP-N-TEE fittings accommodate standard bushings/filler rings for the following types of pipe:
Cast Iron, Sch 35 PL, Sch 40 PL
Thick Wall Plastic, ABS
Asbestos Cement / Ductile Iron
Eastern Clay Pipe
Lateral Connections: Faster, Stronger, Smarter.
Provides economical lateral pipe connection for sewer and drain.
Eliminates strapping around pipe and waiting for epoxies or concrete to dry.
Connector location decided at time of lateral excavation.
Eliminates excavation around pipe and disruption of bedding.
Ensures positive watertight, corrosion-resistant and root free seal.
Prevents off-set joints and settlement.
Allows for flexibility and durability during earthquakes and ground movement.
Prohibits protrusion of lateral pipe into main line.
Nut and Bolt Clamp Design is more durable than traditional worm drive design. (Worm gear clamps available)
