PP Clamp Saddle 654 with Stainless Steel Ring iJoint

  Data Sheet |   Product Range | Instructional Video

The Georg Fischer iJoint 654 blue clamp saddle is a mechanical tapping saddle engineered for creating reliable branch connections on pressurized water distribution pipelines. Manufactured by Georg Fischer from high-grade UV-stabilized polypropylene copolymer (PP-B), this fitting is equipped with an integrated AISI 430 stainless steel reinforcement ring on the parallel female threaded outlet per DIN EN 10226 (ISO 7-1). The reinforcement ring prevents stress cracking and thread deformation during assembly and continuous hydraulic operation, providing long-term structural integrity under variable operating conditions.

Engineered for potable water distribution, utility pipelines, agricultural irrigation systems, and pressure sewage, the iJoint 654 clamp saddle provides exceptional sealing performance across a wide range of pipe materials, including PE 80, PE 100, PEX, and PVC-U pipes. Sealing is ensured by a food-grade flat lip NBR rubber gasket (70 Shore A) that seats securely against the pipe surface, accommodating minor surface irregularities and ovality. Fastening is accomplished using heavy-duty galvanized steel bolts and nuts (M8 and M10 depending on saddle dimensions) designed for fast, accurate torque application.

Key technical parameters and performance ratings include:

• Nominal pressure rating: PN16 (16 bar) for diameters d20 mm up to d160 mm × 2", and PN10 (10 bar) for diameters d160 mm × 3" up to d315 mm
• Operating temperature range: -10 degrees Celsius to +45 degrees Celsius
• Body material: UV-stabilized Polypropylene Copolymer (PP-B, Grade 8, ASTM D2565 1-8) resistant to corrosion, biological fouling, and chemical degradation
• Branch outlet: Parallel female thread reinforced with AISI 430 stainless steel ring
• Sealing element: Food-safe flat lip NBR gasket
• Fasteners: Galvanized steel bolts and nuts with anti-corrosion protection
• Standards and certifications: ISO 17885, DIN EN 12201, DIN 8074, UNI EN 1452, DVGW, ACS, KIWA, SVGW
