• Certification: ISI Marked product
• Components: Saddle base + Clamp
• Available Sizes: 19mm and 25mm pipe compatibility
• Function: Pipe support and secure mounting

Product Description

Bar Saddle is an ISI-certified galvanized iron pipe support fitting designed to securely mount and support electrical conduit pipes to walls, ceilings, and structural surfaces. This two-piece system consists of a saddle base that mounts to the surface and a clamp that wraps around the conduit pipe, providing firm, vibration-resistant support for your electrical installations.

The galvanized iron construction ensures rust resistance and long-term durability in various environments. Available in 19mm and 25mm sizes to match standard conduit diameters, these saddles are essential for maintaining proper conduit alignment and preventing sagging in horizontal and vertical runs. The ISI marking guarantees quality and compliance with Indian standards for electrical fittings.

Recommended Applications

• Horizontal Conduit Runs: Supporting pipes along walls and ceilings to prevent sagging
• Vertical Installations: Securing vertical conduit runs on walls and columns
• Residential Wiring: Home electrical conduit support systems
• Commercial Buildings: Office spaces, retail stores, and commercial complexes
• Industrial Facilities: Factories and warehouses requiring heavy-duty pipe support
• Outdoor Installations: Covered and exposed conduit runs (galvanized for weather resistance)

Installation Guidelines

FAQs

1) How many saddles do I need per conduit run?

Install saddles at maximum 1-metre intervals for horizontal runs and 1.5-metre intervals for vertical runs. For a 10-metre horizontal run, you'll need approximately 10-11 saddles. Always add extra saddles near bends, junctions, and heavy cable sections for additional support.

2) Can I use bar saddles for outdoor conduit installations?

Yes, galvanized iron saddles are suitable for outdoor use due to their rust-resistant coating. However, for long-term outdoor exposure in coastal or highly corrosive environments, consider stainless steel saddles or additional protective coatings for maximum durability.

3) What's the difference between bar saddles and pipe clips?

Bar saddles (two-piece with clamp) provide stronger, more secure support ideal for permanent installations and heavier conduit runs. Pipe clips (one-piece snap-on) are quicker to install but offer less holding strength, suitable for lighter applications or temporary installations.

4) How tight should I fasten the saddle clamp?

Tighten the clamp firmly but not excessively—the conduit should be secure without crushing or deforming the pipe. Over-tightening can crack PVC conduit or restrict cable pulling. The pipe should not rotate or slide within the saddle when properly secured.

5) Can I reuse saddles if I need to relocate conduit?

Yes, bar saddles can be reused if they're in good condition and not damaged during removal. Inspect for rust, bent components, or stripped threads before reuse. The galvanized coating may be scratched during removal, so consider touch-up paint for outdoor reuse.

6) What size saddle do I need for my conduit?

Match the saddle size to your conduit diameter: 19mm saddles for 19mm conduit, 25mm saddles for 25mm conduit. Using the wrong size results in poor support—too large allows pipe movement, too small won't fit or may crush the pipe. Always verify conduit diameter before purchasing saddles.

7) Do I need saddles near conduit bends and junctions?

Yes, always install saddles within 300mm (12 inches) on both sides of bends, junctions, and couplers. These areas experience additional stress and require extra support to prevent joint failure, sagging, or misalignment over time.
