Abstract
A pipe saddle for providing a reliable connection to a pipe. The present invention uses a barb seal which embeds within the surface of the pipe to lock the pipe saddle in place and prevent leakage. The barb seal is formed from the material of the pipe saddle so that no deterioration occurs. The barb seal has an oval shape to provide better sealing capabilities. T-bolt connectors allow the device to be individually tightened on each side of the pipe while allowing the body portions of the saddle to be pivotally opened yet maintained as a single unit to allow easy implementation.
