The ELGEF Plus Y-tapping saddle range features the patented Y-shape design, expandable belt, drillable heating element and ELGEF Plus electrofusion technology.

The innovative Y-shaped design with optimised flow characteristics and reduced pressure losses helps reduce operational cost of the network. With an overall low installation height, there is a reduced risk during excavation work to damage pipes as well as its corresponding costs can be reduced significantly.

Additionally the safety for the whole team on site is increased during subsequential excavation work thanks to an outlet position below the pipe apex.

Working with data from field tests, and thanks to advanced engineering, George Fischer has reimagined and re-designed its ELGEF Plus tapping saddle. A new lever and belt design to assemble the saddle on the pipe bring ease of handling to a new level.
