Agri Saddles 25mm x 3/4″ Saddle Clamp

Agri Saddles 25mm x 3/4″ Female BSP Underground Pipe Tapping Saddle

Need to add a reliable branch line without the hassle of cutting your existing pipework? The Agri Saddles 25mm x 3/4 mechanical saddle offers a swift, trade-grade solution for extending 25mm polyethylene networks. Engineered and manufactured in Italy, this heavy-duty tapping clip is molded from UV-stabilised polymers to withstand the unpredictable British weather and demanding commercial agricultural setups.

Featuring a clean, pre-cut 3/4″ female BSP threaded take-off, this fitting makes it incredibly simple to mount heavy-duty sprinklers, isolate zones with small valves, or tee off into flexible pipework. The combination of a custom-molded NBR rubber seating and high-tensile zinc-plated bolts guarantees a permanent, watertight seal capable of absorbing ground shifts and handling high pressure spikes.

Key Benefits & Product Details:

• Genuine Italian Engineering: Produced by Agri Saddles to strict European standards, ensuring uniform wall thickness and exceptional split resistance.
• Perfect MDPE Fit: Specifically engineered for 25mm outer diameter (OD) blue or black water mains with a 3/4″ parallel BSP thread outlet.
• Advanced Sealing Technology: The resilient nitryl rubber O-ring compresses perfectly against the pipe wall to eliminate leaks entirely.
• Corrosion-Proof Fasteners: Built with robust zinc-coated steel bolts that won’t seize or rust when buried in damp British soil.

Where Best to Use It:

• Commercial Horticulture: Ideal for branching off a 25mm header pipe into micro-irrigation, drip lines, or misting systems.
• Domestic Lawns & Allotments: Simplifies the installation of pop-up garden sprinklers or additional outdoor tap connections.
• Fluid Management: A straightforward way to introduce drainage points, pressure gauges, or air relief valves into your system.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide:

Achieving a permanent, leak-free seal with your mechanical saddle is a straightforward process when following these trade steps:

1. Clean the Pipe: Thoroughly wipe down the surface of the 25mm MDPE pipe where the saddle will sit. Ensure it is entirely free of mud, grit, and deep surface scoring.
2. Position the Gasket: Place the high-grade NBR rubber O-ring into the designated seating groove on the upper half of the saddle. Ensure it sits perfectly flush.
3. Clamp the Mainline: Fit both halves of the clamp around the 25mm pipe at your chosen branch point. Insert the zinc-plated steel bolts through the pre-drilled holes.
4. Tighten Evenly: Thread the nuts onto the bolts by hand, then use a wrench to tighten them incrementally. Alternating between the bolts ensures even distribution of pressure across the rubber gasket. Do not over-tighten.
5. Drill the Take-off: Once the clamp is secured tightly to the rube, use a hole saw or specialized pipe drill through the 3/4″ BSP branch opening to pierce the main pipeline wall. Clean away any loose plastic swarf before threading in your male fitting.
