Key Kit for Georg Fischer iJOINT Tapping Saddle

  Data Sheet |   Product Range | Instructional Video

The Georg Fischer iJOINT key kit is a dedicated installation tool engineered specifically for the operation and commissioning of iJOINT mechanical tapping saddles (d63 to d160 mm, PN16). Designed to meet the demanding requirements of potable water distribution networks, service connections, and industrial fluid systems, this tool set ensures precise actuation of the integrated brass cutter and correct tightening of the polypropylene protective cap without damaging fitting components.

Performing live under-pressure hot tapping on PE80, PE100, and PEX piping systems requires controlled mechanical force and exact alignment. The iJOINT key kit provides direct engagement with the internal brass drilling mechanism, enabling service line installation without interrupting mainline network flow. Its rigid construction delivers high torque transmission with zero slippage, preventing deformation of the internal drive profiles and maintaining the integrity of the integrated NBR and EPDM sealing elements.

Available in three distinct sizes—S (Small / Little), M (Medium), and B (Big)—the wrench kit corresponds precisely to the different dimensional classes of the iJOINT tapping saddle range. The ergonomic handling profile minimizes installer effort during field operations across challenging trench environments and tight installation spaces. Operating reliably in ambient temperatures ranging from -10 degrees C to +45 degrees C, this tooling set forms an indispensable part of standard utility and agricultural piping maintenance equipment.
