Flexible Tap Saddle Wye
This flexible tap saddle wye connects a branch line to an existing 4.5 inch pipe without cutting the main run. It is designed for installers working on indoor, outdoor or underground drainage systems. The elastomeric PVC body conforms to pipe surfaces to create a watertight seal.
4.5 Inch Inside Diameter Fit
The single specification that determines compatibility is the 4.5 inch inside diameter, which must match the host pipe exactly. This saddle is manufactured for that specific size only and will not seal on larger or smaller pipework.
Elastomeric PVC Construction
The fitting installs with standard band clamps and requires no solvent cement, freeing the installer from cure times and ventilation concerns. Its flexible material accommodates slight ovality in the host pipe while maintaining a reliable drainage connection.

Questions about this item
What does the 4.5 figure mean once the saddle is installed on a pipe?
The 4.5 indicates the inside diameter the saddle is designed to fit, so it matches a 4.5 inch pipe when clamped in place.
What connection standard does the flexible tap saddle use and what does it limit?
It uses a flexible elastomeric PVC body with stainless steel clamps that seal by compression, limiting use to gravity-flow drain lines rather than pressurised systems.
What physical space and mounting hardware are needed to fit this saddle?
You need access to wrap the saddle around a 4.5 inch pipe, plus a screwdriver or nut driver to tighten the included stainless steel band clamps.
