A New Easy-to-Use Small Diameter Hot Tapping Saddle

At Total Piping Solutions, Inc., we are dedicated to providing innovative products designed to save time, labor and inventory dollars in the water and wastewater piping industries.

The latest entry in this ever-growing product portfolio is the Quick-Cam^® Hot Tapping Saddle.

The Quick-Cam^® Hot Tapping Saddle includes numerous features to assist in hot tapping ¾” through 4” diameter CTS and IPS diameter pipes. The Quick-Cam^® Hot Tapping Saddle exceeds all industry standards, including AWWA C800 and is built to accommodate copper and steel pipe diameters on all pipe materials.

Since the Quick-Cam^® Hot Tapping Saddle is equipped with a unique slide-on- slide-off lug system, it is well suited for use in tight workspace conditions. The heavy duty cast lug is equipped with an integrated handle and thumb-hold that allows it to be easily carried, mounted and tightened to the pipe in just about any close space situation. This product provides a user-friendly system, that reduces installation time and effort. Moreover, the outlet design features a stronger spin-extruded branch with higher strength welds to resist the stresses and strains of valve installation and hot tapping.

Patents have been applied for this unique lug system.
