Aqua Master Tools Tapping Saddle - 40mm PVC Pipe - 1/2" Female Thread

Add a Threaded Port Without Cutting the Pipe - 40mm PVC

Fitting a sensor or dosing valve into a working water line usually means cutting pipe and rebuilding joints. This tapping saddle clamps around the pipe and gives you a 1/2" female BSP port, so you drill one access hole and screw in your accessory. The included bolts hold it in place.

This single saddle suits a grower adding one measurement or dosing point to a 40mm PVC line, whether in a home hydroponic system or a larger irrigation run. Order more units if you need several ports.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What pipe does it fit?
A: It fits 40mm PVC pipe only. Do not use it on other pipe sizes or materials.

A: The port takes 1/2" injection valves. The distributor also lists standard 12mm electrode holders as compatible. Check that your accessory has a matching thread.

Q: Do I need to cut the pipe?
A: No. You clamp the saddle around the pipe, then drill through the threaded opening to reach the pipe interior.
