Made by hand by cutting, transforming, then assembling and gluing existing materials, our shaped fittings are necessarily more raw and less polished than an injected fitting. Their technical quality and resistance are nevertheless tested at random in our internal laboratory after production.

The saddle body:

It is carried out with the help of a PVC pipe for the building industry (NF) The pipe is cut to size and trimmed as much as necessary along its length. This tube is of the same diameter as the pipe on which it will be clipped. The elasticity of the PVC will allow, during the installation, to spread out and then to find its initial shape by recovering the gaps to perfectly fit the support surface.

We deliberately make the body longer than the actual final requirement, which guarantees you an additional surface for positioning, holding and gluing. You can nevertheless cut it perfectly if necessary.

On some stoolsIt is sometimes possible that the diameter of the body appears to be smaller than the final diameter, but in reality this is not the case: in fact, PVC is elastic and contracts naturally during cutting or shaping. Once clipped and in place, the PVC will perfectly take back its initial diameter and will fit your pipe.

Stitching:

It is also made with the help of a PVC pipe for the building industry (NF) which we thermoform to create a female socket, allowing you to connect your spigot tube or a male fitting (inspection plug, tee, etc...) with ease.

Once positioned hot, the spigot is permanently welded to the body using a specially developed professional PVC glue that also guarantees watertightness.

When you try to position the saddle before drilling, it may, in some cases, seem as if it is not completely in line with the main pipe. This is quite normal: in fact, the saddle is sometimes positioned slightly inside the body of the pipe. saddleThis will allow for a better flow of water by gravity. Once you have drilled your hole (preferably a little larger than the diameter of the spigot), it will penetrate the main pipe and your saddle will be perfectly in place.

The pose:

Position the saddle at the intended location and trace the location of the hole to be made through the inside of the spigot. You can also trace the edges of the saddle to help you with repositioning afterwards.

Drill the hole (rather larger than the diameter initially drawn, which then favours the gravity flow). The dimensions of the saddle body give you a lot of room for manoeuvre.

Glue the inner part of the saddle with a good PVC GEL glue, then replace the saddle in its final position.
