7 Buffalo Saddles Specifications Choosing the Correct Tap-In Product It is important to choose the correct tap-in product when planning a connection. Different tap in saddles and tees offer varied advantages and performance characteristics. Possibility of Pipe Cracking When tapping into old and damaged pipes there always exists the possibility of the pipe wall cracking. Particularly with Asbestos & Fibre Cement pipe, where, a full circle rubber mat seal is essential. Therefore the installer should select an Easi Tee or Ultra Saddle / Tee. Pressure Performance Buffalo Saddles, Service Saddles, DI Saddles for PVC pipe and Easi Tee products offer a far higher pressure performance than Ultra Saddles & Tees. Corrosion Resistance Stainless Steel and Ductile Iron products will offer a superior corrosion resistance. At least better than mild steel products such as the Easi Tee.
