4 inch x 2 inch Cast Iron Tapped Saddle Tee with U-Bolt Saddle x Female

Wal-Rich 0422010 Saddle Tee Tap with U-Bolt – Engineered for Durable, Branch-Line Connections

The Wal-Rich 0422010 Saddle Tee Tap with included U-Bolt is designed for direct tapping into cast iron mains, providing a stable and sealed outlet for branch lines. Precision casting and robust materials ensure that the assembly can endure high mechanical loads and maintain performance under operating pressure.

This saddle tee is particularly effective for tapping into 4-inch mains to add 2-inch branches. Its compact design and included U-bolt simplify mounting and reduce installation time, while maintaining alignment and integrity under dynamic flow conditions.

Professional-Grade Advantages

• ✅ Secure Mechanical Fastening – U-bolt provides consistent pressure across the saddle for optimal seal integrity.
• ✅ Heavy-Duty Cast Iron Body – Ideal for high-strength and corrosion-resistant performance in buried and exposed applications.
• ✅ Application Flexibility – Suitable for both new line extensions and point-of-use retrofits.

Installation Notes

Ensure a clean, debris-free main pipe surface before placing the saddle. Tighten the U-bolt evenly to avoid distortions and to preserve sealing integrity. Proper torque settings and the use of thread sealant or PTFE tape on the tapped outlet are recommended for best results.

Typical Applications

Commonly used in drainage, venting, and low-pressure water systems where branch lines need to connect directly to cast iron mains. Suitable for both residential and commercial plumbing systems under standard operating conditions.
