The Saddle-Mounted Straight Quick Drop Connector is a high-performance drop fitting designed for direct installation into large-diameter AIRpipe aluminum compressed air systems. Compatible with 4″, 6″, and 8″ pipe outer diameters, this connector provides a clean, efficient way to add 1½” or 2″ drop connections without cutting or modifying the pipe.
Its saddle-mount design ensures secure placement and fast installation using a hole saw bit. The all-aluminum body, alignment stub, and full-volume flow path deliver reliable performance, while its reusable and fire-resistant construction makes it ideal for demanding industrial environments.
Compatible Saddle Pipe OD Sizes:
- 4″
- 6″
- 8″
Available Drop Sizes:
- 1½”
- 2″
Key Features:
- Saddle-Mount Interface:
Designed to mount directly onto the pipe surface using a hole saw bit—no pipe cutting required.
- All-Aluminum Construction:
Durable, corrosion-resistant, and lightweight for long-term industrial use.
- Straight Outlet Configuration:
Provides a direct, in-line connection to hoses or accessories, suitable for vertical or horizontal drops.
- Alignment Stub:
Ensures precise positioning and quick installation, reducing labor time and improving reliability.
- Full-Volume Flow Path:
Optimized internal geometry supports unrestricted airflow, minimizing pressure drop and maximizing system efficiency.
- Reusable and Serviceable:
Can be dismantled, cleaned, and reassembled without compromising performance or sealing integrity.
- Non-Flammable Materials:
Safe for use in high-temperature or fire-sensitive environments.
- Flexible Orientation:
Installs horizontally or vertically to rigid pipe or hose.
- Installation Requirement:
Requires a hole saw bit for pipe wall penetration. Compatible with AIRpipe saddle-mount installation tools.
Typical Applications:
- Pneumatic tool drops in large-scale manufacturing and processing plants
