Saddle Plain Finish 6" - 8" (4" Th)

Supports pipe on a broad base — distributes load and protects pipe OD. Pre-Galvanized construction for standard indoor and industrial service.

• Broad saddle base distributes pipe load over a wider bearing area
• Fixed saddle for stable, non-moving pipe support
• Protects pipe OD from point-load stress at the support point
• Pre-Galvanized construction

Overview

Saddle Plain Finish 6" - 8" (4" Th) is a pipe saddle support for supporting pipe on structural steel, concrete, or floor-mounted supports. Pipe saddles distribute the pipe load across a broader bearing area than simple pipe clamps — reducing point-load stress on the pipe wall, which is critical for large-diameter or thin-wall pipe.

Common Uses

• Floor-mounted and structural support for large-diameter pipe
• Steam, hot water, and chilled water piping support
• Stable fixed support for water, steam, and process piping
• Industrial and power plant piping systems
• Long pipe spans on structural steel and concrete supports

Key Features

• Broad saddle base — distributes load, protects pipe OD
• Fixed support for stable, non-moving pipe runs
• Pre-Galvanized construction
• MSS SP-58 compliant

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a pipe saddle used for?

Pipe saddles support pipe on floor-mounted or structural supports, distributing the load over a broad bearing area to prevent point-load stress on the pipe wall.

When do I need a roller saddle vs. a fixed saddle?

Use roller saddles on steam, hot water, and high-temperature piping where thermal expansion causes axial movement. Fixed saddles are used where the pipe is anchored and thermal movement is controlled elsewhere.

Why use a saddle instead of a pipe clamp?

Saddles distribute load over a broader area — critical for large-diameter, thin-wall, or insulated pipe where a narrow clamp would create stress concentration or crush insulation.

Are pipe saddles adjustable?

Adjustable saddle supports can be set to different heights to match the elevation of existing or new pipe. Fixed saddles are set at a specific height.

Why Contractors Choose This Product
