Electrofusion branch saddles from PE Pipeline Specialists deliver proven solutions for bypass operations, system purging, and service connections on large-diameter pipeline infrastructure.

Manufactured to EN ISO 15494, EN 12201-3, EN 1555-3, ISO 4437-3 and ISO 4427-3 standards, branch saddles enable utilities, contractors and designers to create fully welded polyethylene networks with complete structural integrity.

Built from virgin PE100 black polyethylene and rated for Water PN16 and Gas 10 Bar applications, these fittings are designed for reliability across gas, water, wastewater, irrigation and mining sectors. Available with Fusamatic Pin 4.0mm automatic welding systems or manual pin configurations, they provide the manufacturing precision and field-proven dependability that critical infrastructure demands.
