How important is correct clamping during saddle fusion?

Saddle clamps are designed to hold electrofusion branch saddles firmly in place during the welding process, ensuring a consistent connection and optimal joint integrity. Whether you’re working on gas, water, or industrial pipework, correct clamping is essential to prevent movement during fusion and avoid costly leaks or failures.

Our range includes top-loading saddle clamps, strap-based designs and large-diameter kits to suit everything from small-diameter pipes up to 900mm. Leading options from Advance Welding and Plasson are available, including the popular top-loading “G-clamp” design and adjustable strap clamps, offering flexibility for a wide range of on-site applications.

These clamps are simple to install and provide uniform pressure across the saddle, helping to maintain alignment and reduce joint stress. Whether installing standard services or managing complex network modifications, saddle clamps are a critical part of the fusion process.
