A compact hot-tap saddle pipe fitting made of weldable plastic material integrates a branch saddle and a tubular adapter into a monolithic tee shaped unit. The fitting, which is characterized by short overall dimensions and a reinforced base portion, allows a fully pressure rated connection of a branch line to a main plastic pipeline using an isolation valve and a standard size hot-tap cutting tool.
