Three Segments 120° 72” diameter Saddle Support with Neoprene Backing

PT&P fabricated various sized pipe saddle supports used to support water mains for the city of Houston.  The pipe saddles, ranging from 30”-72” in length and 12” in width are made to cover 1/3 of the pipe’s circumference. They are made of A-304 stainless steel with a neoprene backing.

These saddles are used to provide a sliding surface between metal water mains and concrete base supports at fault crossings. The neoprene backing helps to dissipate any shock loads and provides an anti-skid surface at the fault crossing locations.

Various Sized Pipe Saddles for a Power Project

Piping Technology & Products, Inc. designed and manufactured pipe saddles for a power project in California.

The pipe saddles were built for 12", 24" and 30" pipe and the loads varied from 1,500 pounds to a maximum design load of 20,000 pounds. The saddle and its components will hang from a beam in the field by spring hangers to complete what is known as a "trapeze" pipe hanger assembly. In order to prevent movement, the supported pipes will be secured to the curved portion of the saddle with u-bolts.
