DN160x40 tapping saddle for PVC/PE pipes (self-tapping), PN10, for water, GJL-grey cast iron 66.400.160.040

Connection saddle for PVC/PE pipes – a reliable connection to the water supply network

This DN160x40 connection saddle, made of grey cast iron GJL, is an optimal solution for connecting domestic installations to a water supply network made of PVC or PE pipes. Its design allows drilling into the pipeline even while it is in operation, minimizing downtime and facilitating installation. This is particularly important during modernizations and repairs, where shutting off the water supply is problematic.

Construction and application

The saddle is designed for safe and durable connection of pipes with a diameter of 160 mm to a connection with a diameter of 40 mm. Made of grey cast iron (GJL), it provides corrosion resistance and long-term reliability. The self-drilling design allows for precise hole making without the need for additional tools. This makes the installation process faster and easier for both professionals and experienced DIY enthusiasts.

The saddle meets the PN10 standard, which guarantees its safety and reliability under typical operating conditions. The ability to drill under pressure is a major advantage – it avoids the need to drain the water network when connecting a new water draw-off point.

Key features and benefits:

• Self-drilling design: Enables quick and precise installation without the need for additional tools.
• Made of grey cast iron GJL: Ensures high corrosion resistance and long service life.
• Designed for PVC/PE pipes: Versatility of application – compatible with the most commonly used water pipe materials.
• Ability to drill under pressure: Eliminates the need to shut off the water supply during installation, saving time and minimizing inconvenience.
• PN10 standard: Guarantee of safety and compliance with applicable standards.
• Drill diameter 34mm: Allows for precise cutting of a hole of the appropriate size.
• Maximum pipe wall thickness 15mm: Ensures compatibility with different pipe wall thicknesses of PVC/PE.

Additional technical data: Nominal pressure PN10, operating temperature 0-40°C, working pressure (PFA) 10 bar, permissible pressure (PMA) 12 bar, maximum water velocity 3 m/s, maximum driving torque (MOT) 15 Nm, maximum torque when cutting the hole 50 Nm.

The product weight is approximately 6.76 kg, and its dimensions are 26 x 7.6 x 40 cm – which facilitates transport and storage. The saddle is a product of BOHAMET-ARMATURA, a renowned manufacturer of water supply fittings with an established position in the market.
