ABSTRACT:
A saddle tee connector assembly for making a tee connection to a copper tube comprises a saddle tee connector with a bottom clamping portion, a top clamping portion with an outwardly extending boss which has a bore, an annular chamber in the bottom of the bore, a cutting pin positioned in the bore, and a drive nut which is rotated to move the cutting pin downwardly in the bore to cut a hole in the tube and is rotated in the opposite direction to retract the cutting pin from the hole in the tube. The drive nut and pin are removed to permit the attachment of a tube to the boss to form a tee connection. A method is provided for using the saddle tee connector assembly to make a tee connection to a tube.
