Saddle Clamps

What are saddle clamps?

Saddle clamps are used to join two pipes together and are an important part of any piping system. They are made of polypropylene. Grekkon Limited’s saddle clamps sizes allow for fast, quick, and tight irrigation water HDPE pipes or PVC pipes installation. Saddle clamps are alternative to tees. Screw the water pipe saddle clamp on an irrigation water pipe into place. Whether irrigation water supply is under high or low pressure, these devices work. A pre-drilled hole on the pipe allows for the attachment of the saddle clamp. The size of the drilled hole depends on the hole size of the saddle clamps appendix.

Our saddle clamps for pipes consist of the valve body with packing nuts and an open appendix attached on one end. They have a sealing washer that rests between the pipe and clamp to prevent irrigation water leakage. The other side of the irrigation water supply pipe has saddle clamp brackets. Tightened to the valve with two bolts, the pipe remains sandwiched between them.

How to install a saddle clamp in an irrigation system

1. Attach clamps to the irrigation water pipe

Without a cut on the irrigation pipe, their use is convenient. Without the need for couplings or fittings to install, it is easy to work with
Clean the pipe and fitting, and make sure the pipe is free of imperfections
Ensure the clamping force is distributed evenly to avoid stress

2. Pipe addition

Once the clamp is placed, a similarly sized pipe in diameter or a smaller one on the open appendix is attached. This newly attached pipe is perpendicular to the existing one, to form a ‘T’ shape
Place the clamp under the pipe and fitting, making sure the fitting is centered
Tighten the knob handle or bolts until the clamp is secure

3. Size of the clamp

We supply and install them according to the size of the irrigation pipes in use. Because they are easy to assemble and disassemble, the farmer in future moves them with the drip, rain hose kit or sprinkler irrigation system when necessary. Each is named according to the diameter size of the main pipe entry point, and the perpendicular open appendix. For instance, a saddle clamp with a 2” sized main pipe entry point, and a 50mm open perpendicular appendix is referred to as a 2” x 50mm saddle clamp

Additional tips for using saddle clamps:

Use a torque wrench to achieve the recommended torque value
Don’t over-tighten the nuts, as this can damage the pipe.
Make sure the saddle is squarely under both clamp bodies.
Use a spacer to avoid drilling through the other side of the pipe.
Use a milling drill to reduce damage to the saddle screw thread and O-ring.
Draw a reference point on the pipe so you can reposition the saddle if needed

Advantages of Saddle Clamps (SC)

Saddle clamps an important part of the piping system for many industries. There are many advantages to using PP saddle clamps:

They are easy to install and remove, which reduces downtime and increases productivity.
They have a wide variety of applications, including irrigation, food and beverage processing, chemical processing, and water treatment.
They are made from a strong, durable material that can withstand high temperatures and pressures. This makes them ideal for use in applications where heat-sealing is required
SC are also very easy to clean and disinfect, making them perfect for use in sterile environments.
Perhaps most importantly, they are very affordable – you’ll be able to save money on your next project without sacrificing quality or performance.
SC meet drinking water regulations, are bacteriologically neutral, and are safe.
SC come with smooth inner walls to reduce pressure loss and increase flow speed.
Sound insulation (reduced by 40% compared to galvanized steel pipes)
