Saddle 200/160 galvanized SpiroFlex SS200/160-OC

Galvanized saddle SpiroFlex SS200/160-OC is a prefabricated branch connector designed to create a sealed junction between a main pipeline and a smaller branch pipe with diameters 200 mm and 160 mm respectively. Made from corrosion-resistant galvanised steel, this saddle is intended for plumbing, drainage and HVAC installations where a reliable transition and secure mechanical fit are required. The geometry and flange of the saddle allow for stable attachment to round ducts and pipes while preserving flow characteristics at the branch point.

Advantages

The SpiroFlex SS200/160-OC saddle offers durable protection against corrosion due to its galvanised steel construction, reducing maintenance needs in moist or exposed environments. Its prefabricated form ensures consistent dimensions and a repeatable fit that speeds up installation compared with on-site fabrication. The product provides a neat mechanical connection that maintains structural integrity of the main pipe and reduces the likelihood of leaks when installed correctly.

Suitable for

• Creating a branch on circular water supply pipelines where a 200 mm to 160 mm transition is required
• Drainage systems that need a secure tap into a larger main drain
• Ventilation and HVAC ducts requiring a sealed lateral connection between conduits
• Retrofit or repair works where a factory-made saddle is preferable to cutting and welding

Key specifications

• Primary pipe diameter: 200 mm
• Branch pipe diameter: 160 mm
• Material: galvanised steel
• Application area: plumbing, drainage, ventilation (HVAC)
• Connection type: saddle for branch tapping on round pipes

How to use

Position the SpiroFlex SS200/160-OC saddle over the prepared opening on the main pipe, aligning the branch outlet with the required orientation. Secure the saddle according to standard practice for metal ductwork — typically by tightening clamps or fasteners around the saddle flange and the pipe to create a firm mechanical seal. Complete the installation by sealing joints with an appropriate gasket or sealant compatible with galvanised steel if an airtight or watertight connection is needed, and connect the 160 mm branch pipe to the outlet. Follow local codes and installation guidelines for cutting the main pipe and for fastening methods to ensure safe, leak-free operation.

Usage recommendations

For best long-term performance, inspect the galvanised coating after installation and avoid exposure to aggressive chemicals that can accelerate corrosion. Use compatible sealants and fasteners for galvanised steel and ensure that the saddle is installed on pipes with matching round geometry to maintain a proper seal and structural support.
