Saddle branch for round air duct

A saddle branch is a specialized component used in ventilation, heating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, as well as in other piping systems. It is a branching fitting that is mounted onto a main duct or pipe to create a side outlet or branch.

Characteristics of a saddle branch:

• Shape: It has a curved shape resembling a saddle, which is where it gets its name.
• Installation: It is typically installed by cutting a hole in the main duct and attaching the saddle branch over this hole. This allows for the creation of a new path for air flow or fluid.
• Sizes: Available in various sizes and shapes to fit different diameters and types of ducts.

Advantages:

• Flexibility: Allows for easy addition of new branches to existing systems.
• Easy Installation: Can be installed without the need to dismantle the main duct or pipe.
• Reliability: Provides a good seal and minimizes air or fluid loss.

A saddle branch is a convenient and effective way to add branches to existing systems, making it widely used in construction and HVAC installations.
