Pipe saddle fitting KAN-therm 75 mm with 1/2" female threaded outlet (model 04118175)

The KAN-therm pipe saddle fitting 75 mm with a 1/2" female threaded outlet is a polypropylene (PP) saddle designed to create a secure branch connection on existing plastic pipelines. It fits over a 75 mm main pipe and provides a female thread to attach valves, taps or instrumentation without replacing pipe sections. The fitting is intended for use in plumbing, heating and industrial fluid distribution systems where a reliable threaded off-take is required.

Advantages

This saddle fitting offers a compact solution for adding a threaded branch to an existing plastic pipe, reducing the need for cutting and rejoining long pipe runs. Constructed from polypropylene, it combines chemical resistance and dimensional stability suitable for common plumbing and heating agents. The integrated 1/2" female thread provides a standard connection point compatible with widely used valves and fixtures, enabling straightforward installation and subsequent maintenance.

Suitable for

• Creating a threaded branch on 75 mm plastic distribution pipes
• Connecting valves, taps or sensors to plumbing and heating systems
• Retrofit installations where minimal pipe modification is required
• Industrial fluid distribution requiring localized off-takes

Key specifications

• Main pipe diameter: 75 mm
• Material: polypropylene (PP)
• Outlet connection: 1/2" female threaded
• Application: plumbing, heating and industrial fluid systems
• Mounting type: saddle for attachment onto existing pipe

How to use

Position the saddle over the cleaned and prepared 75 mm main pipe at the point of the desired branch. Follow the manufacturer’s recommended procedure for creating the pipe opening and securing the saddle to ensure a leak-free joint; this typically involves aligning the saddle, drilling or cutting the outlet hole through the pipe wall as specified, and fastening the saddle according to installation instructions. After securing the saddle, attach compatible 1/2" threaded valves or fittings and test the connection under working pressure before putting the system into regular operation.

Usage recommendations

Use suitable tools and follow safety guidelines when cutting or drilling the main pipe. Verify compatibility of working fluids and operating temperatures with polypropylene materials, and torque threaded connections to manufacturer-recommended values to avoid leaks or thread damage.
