• V-shape saddle serves as a guide for pipe and fits a wide range of pipe sizes up to 16" diameter plastic pipe The inside surface of the V-shape that holds the pipe has a tacky grit coating for extra hold V-shape saddles are used to hold gasketed pipe

With 28-to-1 leverage, it is easy for one person to join or separate PVC gasketed joints up to 16 inch diameter using the REED Plastic Pipe Joiner. Saddles are needed with a PVC pipe joining tool for gasketed connections. The Plastic Pipe Joiner can connect and separate 4" - 16" PVC and PVCO IPS and Cast Iron Size (CIPS) gasketed pipe, such as C900 and C909, as well as water, sewer and PIP pipe. Components required for joining gasketed pipe include the PVC pipe assembly tool (PPJ) and V-shaped saddles (PPJVS). Gasketed pipe is found in underground work like irrigation systems and utility work, among other places. Use of a pipe joiner is safe and under the operator's control for the assembly process. REED's PPJ pipe joiner also reverses direction to separate gasketed PVC, providing the operator with mechanical leverage to disconnect the joint.NOTE: Connection saddles for gasketed pipe (PPJVS) must be purchased separately.
