ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a tapping saddle for establishing a lateral connection to a pipe. The tapping saddle includes a tapping valve that is held against the pipe by a flexible metal band. The flexible band has a plurality of lengthwise extending spaced apart holes adjacent one of its ends. The flexible metal band is held about the pipe by a first lug fixedly connected to one end of the band and a movable lug positioned on the other side of the band adjacent the first lug. The lugs are connected and drawn together by a bolt that passes through a selected one of the holes in the band. A tab is positioned between the first lug and the band and urges the band into clamping engagement with the second lug when the first and second lugs are drawn together by the bolt.
