ABSTRACT:
A saddle tee assembly for use with an irrigation line. The saddle tee assembly generally includes a collar portion having a bore therethrough; a strap portion for securing the collar to an irrigation line; and a tool having a passage therethrough with an opening in fluid communication with the passage. The tool may be receivable in the bore for puncturing the irrigation line. In a preferred form, the saddle tee assembly also includes an anti-rotation interface between the collar portion and the tool. The anti-rotation interface includes a first stop on the collar portion and corresponding second stops on the tool. The first and second stops being engageable to align a received tool in a predetermined orientation and restrict unintentional rotation of the tool.
