JCM406 Epoxy Coated Service Saddle w/ Double S/S Straps 0350 X 3/4"IP 3.25-3.50

JCM Coated Saddles are constructed of ductile iron with a high-density fusion plastic coating and have 18-8 Type 304 Stainless Steel straps, nuts and washers for high corrosion resistance. These saddles meet or exceed ANSI/AWWA C800 Standard for Underground Service Line Valve and Fittings.

Body Casting : Wrap around design of Ductile Iron, ASTM A-536 annealed to 60-40-18. Body has a gasket cavity, which provides internal as well as external gasket retention.

Gasket : Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR, Buna-N) per ASTM D2000. Molded virgin rubber with a pressure activated hydromechanical design. Gasket is bonded into a cavity for internal and external retention. Gasket temperature range -40oF to 212oF (-40oC - 100oC) Gasket suitable for water, salt solutions, mild acids, bases, and sewage. Optional EPDM gasket available.

Straps : Stainless steel, 18-8 Type 304, the straps are equal to or greater than the internal diameter of the gasket to provide for proper pipe support and gasket loading. Strap is 14 gauge stainless steel. Straps are passivated for corrosion resistance. Optional 316 stainless steel available.

Bolts, Nuts, Washers: Stainless steel, 18-8 Type 304, passivated for corrosion resistance. Nuts coated with Xylan antiseize compound to reduce friction and galling. Nominal Sizes 2" - 3" with 1/2" UNC roll thread, 1/2" stainless washers and heavy hex nuts, nominal sizes 4" and larger with 5/8" UNC roll thread, 5/8" stainless washers and heavy hex nuts. Optional 316 stainless steel available.

Coating: Casting is coated with fusion bonded high density blue plastic, 12 mils minimum thickness, with a dielectric strength of over 12,000 volts. Water absorption less than .20% (less than nylon) prevents undercutting and blistering.

Pressure Rating : Working pressure is 250 PSI hydrostatic. With proper installation to the manufacturer's instructions, JCM Service Saddles are rated 1.5 times the working pressure of the pipe assuming that does not exceed the capability of the host pipe, up to the maximum rating of the pipe. Inspection of pipe integrity, site conditions, and quality of installation are the responsibility of the end user. Contact the factory if higher working pressure is required
