FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
- QUESTION: Can I use Hansen Fast Fit Tapping Saddles under driveways, paths and foundations?
- ANSWER: Hansen does NOT recommend the use of any Hansen Fast Fit Tapping Saddles under any driveways, paths or foundations
- QUESTION: Is one bolt enough to hold the Hansen Fast Fit Tapping Saddle securely?
- ANSWER: Yes, under normal circumstances one bolt is sufficient but in larger sized saddles there is an additional two (2) holes you can bolt for peace of mind.
- QUESTION: Often it is hard to know if the seal is in place or if the saddle has moved on the pipe making it impossible to seal. Will the Hansen Fast Fit Tapping Saddle fix this problem?
- ANSWER: The Hansen Fast Fit Tapping Saddle covers this in two ways, firstly the spigot stops the possibility of the saddle moving past the hole in the pipe and secondly with the easy to view custom seal spigots you can see at a glance that the seal is in place.
- QUESTION: The biggest problem installing saddles is losing parts when working in a trench, especially without much room to move, will Hansen Fast Fit Tapping Saddle fix this problem?
- ANSWER: Yes, because the Hansen Fast Fit Tapping Saddle has a hinge and the bolt is fixed, which means you only need two hands to install the Hansen Fast Fit Tapping Saddle.
- QUESTION: What size hole saw will I need to use when installing the Hansen Fast Fit Tapping Saddle?
- ANSWER: The hole saw size information is marked on the Hansen Fast Fit Tapping Saddle body. One easy way to test the size is to test that the hole saw fits over the spigot but inside the seal area.
- QUESTION: Will the hinge allow the Hansen Fast Fit Tapping Saddle to open wide enough to place around the pipe when working in confined spaces?
- ANSWER: Yes, you will find the Hansen Fast Fit Tapping Saddle easy to install in confined spaces because the hinge opens past 180 degrees without losing the hinged connection.
