Spears PVC Clamp Saddle with Buna-N Gasket, Socket Connection

The Spears PVC Clamp Saddle is engineered for branch connections on PVC piping systems, combining a corrosion-resistant PVC body with a socket connection, a Buna-N gasket for a leak-tight seal, and a zinc-plated bolt for secure clamping. Built for reliable performance in water distribution, irrigation, and industrial piping applications, this clamp saddle allows a branch line to be tapped into a main line without cutting or disassembling the existing run. Each unit ships with the hardware needed for installation, making it a practical solution for plumbing professionals and contractors working with PVC pipe systems.

Key Features

  • Durable Construction: PVC body construction resists corrosion, chemical attack, and degradation for long-term reliability in wet and buried plumbing environments.
  • Socket Connection: Solvent-weld socket end provides a secure, permanent bond to PVC pipe for a dependable branch tap.
  • Buna-N Gasket: Synthetic rubber Buna-N seal creates a leak-tight interface between the saddle and the main pipe surface.
  • Zinc-Plated Bolt: Zinc-plated bolt hardware resists corrosion while providing the clamping force needed to hold the saddle securely in place.
  • Clamp Saddle Design: Saddle-style body distributes clamping pressure evenly around the main pipe, minimizing stress on the connection point.
  • Convenient Packaging: Supplied 4 each per package for stocking multiple branch connections on a single job or maintaining inventory for ongoing plumbing work.

Spears 466-528 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What pipe sizes does the Spears 466 PVC clamp saddle cover?
The Spears 466 clamp saddle comes in two combinations: 6 x 2 inch (part 466-528) and 8 x 2 inch (part 466-578). The first number is the main line it wraps, the second is the branch outlet. So both give you a 2 inch socket branch, off either a 6 inch or an 8 inch PVC main.
2) Do I have to cut the PVC main to tap a branch line with a clamp saddle?
No. That is the point of the saddle. It clamps around the existing PVC main and lets you tap a branch without cutting or taking apart the existing run, so you are not pulling a section out of a live water distribution or irrigation main to add a feed. You still drill the main for the outlet, but the pipe stays in place.
3) Is the branch outlet on the Spears 466 saddle threaded or solvent weld?
Solvent weld. The outlet is a socket connection, so the 2 inch branch pipe glues straight into it with PVC cement and primer for a permanent bond. If your branch needs to be a threaded takeoff for a valve or a meter, you would glue a short nipple of pipe into the socket and transition with a male adapter.
4) Can I use a PVC clamp saddle on a metal or ductile iron main?
No. The Spears 466 is a PVC-bodied saddle sized and contoured for PVC pipe in 6 inch and 8 inch, and it seals with a Buna-N gasket against a PVC outside diameter. For a tap on steel, copper, or ductile iron you need a saddle built for that pipe material and OD. Keep this one on PVC mains.
5) What seals the clamp saddle against the main pipe?
A Buna-N gasket does the sealing between the saddle body and the outside wall of the main. Buna-N is a synthetic nitrile rubber, so it holds up well in water service and buried work. The clamping force comes from a zinc-plated bolt, and the saddle body spreads that pressure around the pipe so you are not point-loading the main.
6) Do I need to buy the bolts separately for this Spears clamp saddle?
No, the hardware comes with it. Each saddle ships with the bolt hardware needed to install it, zinc plated for corrosion resistance. What you supply on the job is the PVC primer and solvent cement for the branch socket, and a hole saw or tapping tool to open the main.
7) How many clamp saddles come in a package?
They are supplied 4 each per package. That matters if you only need one tap, because you are buying a pack of four, and it works in your favor if you are stocking a truck or doing a run of irrigation zone takeoffs off the same main.
8) Should I use a clamp saddle or cut in a tee for a branch connection?
Cutting in a solvent weld tee gives you a full-bore branch and is the way to go on new construction when the pipe is open and dry. A clamp saddle like the Spears 466 is for when the main is already in the ground or already in service, and pulling a section out to fit a tee means shutting down the run and dealing with a wet joint. The saddle taps it in place with no cut to the main.
9) Will this saddle work for a buried irrigation main?
Yes, that is one of its intended uses. The PVC body resists corrosion and chemical attack in wet and buried conditions, and the bolt is zinc plated for the same reason. Typical work includes irrigation zone taps, water distribution and municipal mains, industrial and commercial piping, and repairs or retrofits on existing PVC mains.
