A tapping tee assembly () comprises an integrally moulded saddle (), body () and socket (). The tapping tee assembly can be mounted on a pipeline thereby enabling a cutter to travel through the body of the fitting in order to cut a hole in the pipeline. The saddle () is provided with a saddle-shaped electrofusion element mat () and the socket (), which is integral with the body () and in fluid connection with the axial bore () of the body, is provided with a second electrofusion element (). The electrofusion elements () are connected by an integrated anvil-shaped connector () and connecting pin () such that both electrofusion elements () can be energized simultaneously using two electrical terminals (), and the device can be manufactured with relative ease.
