Description
The 160mm saddle clamp 45° Y lateral connector is designed for connecting a 160mm PVC lateral pipe into a larger smooth wall main drainage pipe. It suits 200mm to 400mm main pipes and provides a practical angled branch connection for underground drainage and surface water systems.
This VIPSeal VYS150 saddle clamp creates a 45° Y connection without the need to replace a full section of the main pipe. As a result, it can help reduce excavation, cutting and installation time on suitable drainage jobs.
The saddle is suitable for smooth wall PVC, concrete and vitrified clay host pipes. It uses a flexible saddle body, EPDM sealing gasket and stainless steel straps to create a secure connection between the main pipe and the 160mm PVC lateral.
160mm Saddle Clamp for 45° Y Connections
The 160mm saddle clamp is used when a 160mm PVC lateral pipe needs to enter a larger drainage main at 45 degrees. This angled connection can be useful for new drainage runs, surface water connections, site alterations and repair work.
Unlike a full branch fitting, this saddle clamp fits around the outside of the existing main pipe. Therefore, it can be a useful option when the main pipe is already installed and a new lateral connection is needed.

160mm Saddle Clamp for Underground Drainage
This 160mm saddle clamp is suitable for drainage jobs where an angled 160mm branch needs to connect into a larger main run. It can be used on compatible smooth wall pipes within the correct outside diameter range.
Before fitting, check the main pipe material, outside diameter and condition. The saddle needs a clean pipe surface and enough working space around the pipe for the straps to pass underneath and tighten correctly.
Once the correct opening has been cut, the saddle and gasket sit over the prepared hole. The stainless steel shroud and straps then secure the fitting around the main pipe. Finally, the 160mm lateral pipe connects into the saddle outlet.
160mm Saddle Clamp Installation Use
The 160mm saddle clamp can help simplify branch connection work on suitable drainage systems. It is especially useful where installing a complete junction would involve more excavation or a larger section of pipe removal.
For best results, follow the manufacturer’s installation guidance. The hole must be cut accurately, the saddle must sit correctly on the pipe, and the clamps should be tightened evenly to the recommended torque. This helps maintain the seal before testing, bedding and backfilling.
Use this fitting with compatible 160mm PVC underground drainage pipe. Also, follow the correct site specification for trench preparation, pipe bedding, falls, jointing, testing and backfill.
