- 9 The invention relates to a saddle fitting for tapping into a primary pipe to provide flow from the primary pipe to a secondary pipe. The saddle fitting comprising two parts adapted to clamp about the primary pipe, each part comprising integral formations on matching ends which can separably interengage to pivotally couple the two parts of the fitting about the primary pipe. One of the parts comprises an aperture for coupling a secondary pipe to communicate flow from the primary pipe to the secondary pipe when the parts are clamped about the primary pipe. The invention also relates to a sealing arrangement for a saddle fitting having a sealing element for sealing between an interior surface of the part having the aperture and an exterior surface of the primary pipe and having at least one sealing indicator extending from the sealing element such that an end of the indicator lies at least flush with an exterior surface of the fitting when the seal is correctly in place. r7,- V -~ ~ ~ / -'z ------ less |
