Indus Industrial Group provides heavy-duty HDPE Electrofusion Tapping Saddles and Branch Saddles engineered for main pipe diameters from DN40 to DN400 with outlet branch take-offs from DN20 to DN110 in pressure rating SDR11 (PN16 water / PN10 gas) according to ISO 4427-3 and EN 12201-3. Designed specifically for live under-pressure branch connections (hot-tapping) without interrupting water or gas service to municipal consumers, each tapping saddle incorporates an integrated stainless-steel or brass cutter with top-cap sealing O-rings and embedded electrofusion heating coils. Engineered with curved base geometries that clamp securely onto existing pressurized HDPE mains across Iraq, they provide rapid, zero-downtime service connections.

Municipal live water house connections, industrial plant branch take-offs, under-pressure municipal gas connections, air valve and wash-out saddle branch installations, and pressure monitoring taps across Baghdad, Erbil, Basra, Najaf, and Karbala.
HDPE Electrofusion Tapping Saddles and Branch Saddles provide the vital engineering capability for expanding municipal water networks, domestic customer connections, and industrial branch lines across Iraq without shutting down pressurized transmission mains. In bustling urban centers like Baghdad, Erbil, and Basra, isolating a water main to install a mechanical tee cuts water supply to thousands of residents and introduces contaminated groundwater into the depressurized line. Indus electrofusion tapping saddles solve this challenge completely by fusing directly onto live, pressurized HDPE pipes and performing clean internal pipe wall cutting through an integrated mechanical core drill.
The structural base of each saddle is anatomically contoured to match the precise outside diameter of the host pipe, featuring semi-embedded resistance heating wires and dynamic under-clamping straps. The integrated internal cutter is manufactured from hardened stainless steel or corrosion-proof brass, featuring clean coupon retention that holds the drilled plastic slug securely inside the cutter body, preventing debris from entering the downstream municipal water grid. The top access cap features an elastomeric O-ring seal and secondary internal pressure plug, guaranteeing 100% bubble-tight sealing at 16 Bar water pressure.
Under harsh Iraqi environmental conditions, where service saddles are exposed to high ground temperatures and mineral-rich subsoils, the virgin PE100 body eliminates all electrolytic and chemical corrosion risks. Individually sealed with barcode traceability and supplied with installation clamping tools, Indus tapping saddles are stocked in depth at our Erbil Heavy Yard, Baghdad Depot, and Basra Hub for rapid municipal deployment.
The integrated cutter features engineered internal reverse-retention threads. As the cutter cuts through the HDPE pipe wall, the plastic coupon is threaded onto the cutter core and withdrawn upward into the saddle body, preventing debris from traveling into the municipal water network.
Yes. Indus electrofusion tapping saddles are engineered to weld seamlessly onto host HDPE PE100 pipes across SDR9, SDR11, SDR13.6, and SDR17 classes, providing maximum versatility on Iraqi project sites.
Smaller saddles feature integrated lower snap-on shells, while larger branch saddles (DN160 to DN400) utilize mechanical strap clamps to maintain 1.5 to 2.0 bar clamping pressure during the fusion and cooling cycles. Indus supplies both the saddles and the companion clamping fixtures.
