New tapping saddle and tapping head in the Supa Lock™ threadless connection system
We are happy to announce that we have added two great new products to our Supa Lock™ range; A tapping saddle and a tapping head, both with a cassette for blade shut-off enabling tapping under pressure and a Supa Lock™ socket outlet for connection to Supa Lock™ fittings. 24-10-2017
The tapping saddle for ductile iron, steel and other metal pipes has a saddle head of ductile iron and a bottom part of stainless steel with EPDM liner offering a tolerance of 20-30 mm.
The ductile iron tapping head has a Supa Lock™ spigot end fitting into our standard Supa Lock™ tapping saddles for PVC/PE pipes and for metal pipes. The tapping head is acting as a temporary alternative to a valve.
Main features of the Supa Lock™ connection:
- Corrosion-free joint (no threads)
- Easy two-step assembly with maximum flexibility
- Patented self-locking design
