Custom Made Tapping Saddle with Customizable Thickness and Powder Coating for Ductile Cast Iron Pipes

In modern pipeline infrastructure, ensuring reliable branch connections is critical for system integrity and flexibility. Our Custom Made Tapping Saddle service provides engineered solutions specifically designed for Ductile Cast Iron Pipes, featuring Customizable Thickness and durable Powder Coating finishes. These saddles are precision-manufactured to create secure, leak-proof connections for water mains, sewage systems, and industrial pipeline networks, offering superior performance and longevity in demanding environments.

Premium Materials and Corrosion Protection
We utilize high-grade materials to ensure optimal performance and durability:

• Ductile Iron Base Material: Manufactured from high-strength ductile iron (Grade 500-7/450-10), providing excellent mechanical properties with minimum tensile strength of 500 MPa and 7% elongation

• EPDM Sealing Gaskets: High-quality rubber gaskets ensure watertight seals, resistant to aging and chemical degradation

• Powder Coating Protection: Advanced electrostatic application of thermosetting polymers (epoxy-polyester hybrid) creates a uniform, thick protective layer

• Corrosion Resistance: Multiple coating layers provide exceptional resistance to soil chemicals, moisture, and UV radiation

Advanced Manufacturing Process and Quality Control
Our production process combines precision engineering with strict quality assurance:

• CAD-optimized Design: Computer-aided design ensures perfect curvature matching for specific pipe diameters

• CNC Machining: Computer-controlled machining maintains precise bolt hole patterns and surface contours

• Custom Thickness Options: Available in 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, and 15mm thickness variations for different pressure requirements

• Controlled Coating Process: Multi-stage pre-treatment including phosphating followed by electrostatic powder application and thermal curing

Technical Specifications and Performance Features

• Pressure Rating: Suitable for working pressures up to 25 bar (350 psi)

• Size Range: Compatible with pipe diameters from DN80 to DN600 (3" to 24")

• Coating Thickness: Standard 60-80 μm powder coating, customizable up to 120 μm

• Temperature Resistance: Operating range from -30°C to 80°C

• Standards Compliance: Meets AWWA C110, EN 545, and ISO 2531 specifications

Customization Options and Application Flexibility
Our tapping saddles offer extensive customization capabilities:
