This Flexseal 150mm Unisaddle is designed to enable the secure connection of a DN150 lateral (or branch) pipe to concrete and clay sewer or surface water pipes from DN250-DN400. By core drilling a 172mm hole into the pipe, the saddle can be placed into the desired position, fixed in place and the lateral pipe can then be installed into the open end of the saddle.

This Unisaddle offers the same solution as pipe junctions for lateral pipes, from new build houses, road gullies etc, that need to be connected into the system mains. However, installing a saddle requires less excavation work and only a core hole to be drilled into the main pipe, which offers a number of benefits over the junction method.

Product Features at a Glance:

• Lower cost in comparison to junctions
• Accepts a deflection on the lateral pipe of 7°.
• Strong grip on the lateral pipe with a stainless-steel clamp band.
• Incorporates shear support to withstand a shear load of 25 Newtons per mm pipe diameter.
• Improved health & safety.
• Lightweight, easy to handle for quick installation without needing heavy lifting equipment.
• Savings in labour time and cost.
• Significantly reduced excavation requirements.
• No need to excavate around the pipe and disrupt the pipe bedding.
• Withstands an internal pressure of 1 bar/14.50psi.
• Fits any DN150 lateral pipe in conjunction with a Flexseal Multibush.
• WRc Approved™.

Manufacturers Advice: This Unisaddle can be made even more universal with the addition of a Flexseal Multibush. DN150 lateral pipes are available in many different materials, the thickness of these materials means that the outside diameters differ from pipe to pipe. The Flexseal 150mm Unisaddle has been designed to accept the thickest DN150 pipe on the UK market, with an outside diameter between 180-190mm. To connect a DN150 lateral pipe with a smaller outside diameter, a Flexseal Multibush can be used – the foldable bush can be used to fill the gap with 3 thickness configurations: 12mm, 8mm and 4mm. Using this saddle in conjunction with a Flexseal Multibush means that any DN150 lateral pipe material can be installed.
