MJ Outlet Flange Outlet

Saddle is furnished with AWWA C110 flange or mechanical joint outlet and can be installed on pipe with hole already machine cut or torch cut at shop or at job site. Saddle can thus be used on 12" through 54" pipe for providing outlet as pipeline is being installed or in pipeline already installed. For a saddle in sizes 4" through 12" with AWWA C110 flange connection on the branch, the flange is counterbored per MSS (Manufacturers' Standardization Society) SP-60 dimensions, making assembly possible with a tapping machine, tapping valve, or a standard C110 flange. The inside diameter of the outlet is 1/4" greater than the nominal, enabling a full-size opening to be made in pipe wall. Counterbore dimensions are as tabulated in Table No. 7-14 (see right).

Notes:
Weights are for Saddle with MJ bell or AWWA C110 flange; weights do not include any MJ or flange joint materials.
Saddles listed are rated 250 psi working pressure. Check AMERICAN for higher pressure applications.
Straps are alloy steel, 1/4" X 1 1/2" in cross section and are fabricated with 3/4" threaded ends. Sealing of Saddle is provided by a positively confined "O-Ring" SBR rubber gasket, circular in cross section and made of molded rubber approximately 70 Durometer Hardness.
Saddles to fit some other diameters can be furnished upon request. Order should specify diameter of parent pipe.
Outlet can be furnished tapped for studs when specified.
Maximum size outlet normally furnished for tapping 12"-14" pipe is 6"; for 16"-18" pipe is 8"; for 20" pipe is 10"; and for 24"-54" pipe is 12".
On special order some outlets 14" through 18" can be furnished for low pressure service on 30"-54" pipe.
See General Notes.
*Prior to 1988, 54" AMERICAN pipe had an O.D. of 57.10". Installers should measure the O.D. of existing 54" pipe prior to ordering so that proper strap lengths can be furnished.

For recommended minimum installation distance (X) from face of Fastite bell to center of saddle, see Table No. 7-16.
