Valve tapping saddle with transition HD-PE/gunmetal

Areas of Application

FRIALEN-Valve Tapping Saddles VAM-RG and VAM-RG-TL are used for acceptance of normal commercial brass valves.

Assembly Instructions

VAM-RG

After scraping and cleaning of the pipe which is being fused and cleaning of the internal surface of the FRIALEN-Valve Tapping Saddle the Valve Tapping Saddle is screwed with the bottom section tightly to the HDPE pipe (see Assembly Instructions for “FRIALEN-Safety Fittings for house connections and distribution pipes up to d 225”).

VAM-RG-TL

The preparation of the surfaces to be fused is the same as for VAM-RG. The saddle is clamped onto the pipe with the FRIATOP clamping device (see pricelist “Technical Equipment”). Please read the “Assembly and Operating Instructions for FRIATOP clamping unit (Top-Loading)”. Fusion takes place by FRIAMAT-fusing.

Eight good reasons for using the FRIALEN-Valve Tapping Saddles:

• Compact construction

• HDPE saddle with exposed heating element for optimal heat transfer

• Gunmetal adapter permanently anchored in the HDPE

• To accept normal commercial brass valves

• Tapping area free of heating wires

• Thread to DIN EN 10226-1, ISO 7-1

• Type VAM-RG-TL can be applied universally to large HDPE pipe diameters d 250-315 (560). This means additional economy due to less material needed and less stock both with suppliers and trade

• Additional barcode for tracing back the underground fitting (Traceability-Coding)
