Ford service saddles are used to install corporation stops on virtually all types of water main pipe including iron, PVC, and asbestos-cement. Saddles constructed of ductile iron, brass, or stainless steel are available in all the popular sizes and for most metric-sized pipe. All saddles feature 3/4" through 2" tapped outlets manufactured to ANSI/AWWA C800 or British Standard Pipe threads, as required.

Ductile iron saddles are available with either single or double electro-galvanized steel straps or with optional stainless steel bands. Brass saddles are cast of 85-5-5-5 water works brass. The popular S70-S90 series features a hinged design and the 101B-202B series incorporates silicon bronze straps or optional stainless steel bands.

Tapping sleeves of fabricated steel and stainless steel round out the Ford line of tapping devices. Each sleeve has a flange outlet conforming to AWWA C207 Class D-ANSI 150 lb. drilling and the standard sizes have been optimized for U.S. Pipe Standards. Flanges conforming to alternate AWWA or international specifications are also available upon request.
