Service Saddles

Smith Blair brand service saddles are mechanical fittings that clamp onto existing water mains to create new service connections without requiring pipe cutting or system shutdown, featuring integral tapping valves and outlet connections for customer service lines. These saddles are commonly used by water utilities for installing new residential and commercial water services, emergency service connections, and system expansions where hot tapping techniques allow crews to connect to pressurized mains while maintaining uninterrupted service to existing customers.
