Abstract
A fitting, for use in making a fluid connection with a pipe, generally includes a saddle adapted to couple the fitting to the pipe, and a tap integrally formed with the saddle and extending generally away from saddle. The tap is configured to press-fit into the pipe for establishing the fluid connection between the fitting and the pipe. The fitting also includes a passageway defined by the saddle and the tap, for receiving fluid from the pipe and into the fitting via the tap.
