Saddle Installation Instructions: When Assembling Spears® Saddles to PVC pipe, Spears® Manufacturing Company recommends Spears® PVC-19 Extra Heavy Body Solvent Cement and Spears® PRIMER-68 or PRIMER-70, or equivalent. Although good connections may be accomplished without saddle straps, Spears® Manufacturing Company recommends the use of clamp or strap device during the assembly step to ensure good compression between the pipe and fitting surfaces as the solvent cures. Solvent cemented saddles are non pressure rated. For additional information, contact Spears® Technical Service.
Suitable for Oil-Free air handling to 25 psi, not for distribution of compressed air or gas

Snap-On Saddle Installation Instructions
The surface to be joined must be wiped clean.
Using an appropriate applicator, apply a coat of primer to the fitting and pipe.
While the primer is still wet, apply a generous coat of medium bodied cement first to the pipe, then to the fitting and then to the pipe again, covering an area of the pipe slightly larger than the saddle.
Without delay, push the saddle onto the pipe and rotate the fitting approximately 15° in each direction to evenly distribute the cement.
Allow cement to cure.
Drill fitting and pipe with the recommended size hole saw.
Remove debris from the line.
Follow all safe handling precautions.
Solvent cemented saddles are non pressure rated. For additional information, contact Spears® Technical Service.
