Automatic-Pin Flanged Branch Saddle for Medium-Diameter Mains
The flanged electrofusion branch saddle with underclamp combines a Fusamatic automatic pin with a DN80 or DN100 flanged outlet on PE mains from DN90 to DN250. The automatic pin reads the fitting and feeds the correct welding parameters to the fusion unit — eliminating manual input errors on site.
The U version is supplied as a complete assembly: flanged branch saddle plus galvanised backing ring (Class B per GIS PL2 Part 4). The sacrificial underclamp locks the fitting in place during the weld cycle and can be retained in-situ after installation. A rising pin fusion indicator provides permanent visual confirmation of a completed weld.
Manufactured from virgin PE100 black polyethylene. Rated Water PN16 / Gas 10 Bar. Suitable for gas, water, mining and irrigation applications. Operating temperature range: -10°C to +40°C. Covers SDR 11–17.6 (250mm body: SDR 11–21) — 10 standard references in total.
Typical Applications
- Connection of flanged valves and control sets on medium PE gas/water distribution mains
- Meter connections and chamber branches on municipal networks
- Pump, filter and equipment take-offs from PE trunk lines
- Bypass, purging and off-take connections requiring flanged disconnection
- Mining and industrial process water flanged equipment connections
Key Features & Benefits
- Fusamatic automatic pin (4.0mm) — automatically provides correct welding parameters to the fusion unit

- Galvanised backing ring included — Class B, GIS PL2 Part 4 (U version)
- Sacrificial underclamp — locks fitting during weld cycle, can be retained in-situ after installation
- Large electrofusion area — enhanced weld integrity
- Water PN16 / Gas 10 Bar rating (dependent on PE pipe welded)
- Manufactured using virgin PE100 black polyethylene
- Permanent batch number + barcode/QR code for full traceability (ISO 13950 / ISO 12176-4)

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our automatic-pin flanged branch saddle with underclamp.
What is an automatic pin flanged branch saddle?
This flanged branch saddle uses a Fusamatic automatic pin (4.0mm) that automatically provides the correct welding parameters to the fusion unit, eliminating manual parameter entry errors.
What does the rising pin fusion indicator mean?
The rising pin on the fitting indicates when the weld cycle is complete — a permanent visual confirmation that the fitting has been welded and prevents accidental re-use.
Which flange outlets and main sizes are available?
The saddle covers main bodies from DN90 to DN250 with DN80 or DN100 flange outlets — 10 standard references, covering SDR 11–17.6 (250mm body: SDR 11–21).
What is included in the U assembly?
The U version includes the flanged branch saddle assembly and galvanised backing ring — Class B per GIS PL2 Part 4.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 100 pieces per size, but we are flexible for trial orders. Smaller sample quantities are available for evaluation. Contact us with your required sizes and quantity for a tailored quote.
