Tap Valves
- Valve Type: Saddle
- For Use With: Air, Water
- For Tube Material: Copper
Also known as saddle valves, these self-piercing valves tap existing copper tubing lines so you can install a secondary water supply line to humidifiers, ice makers, and other equipment. Clamp the valve into position and turn the handle to pierce a 1/4" hole in the tubing. Do not use with pipe. The outlet connection is a 1/4" compression tube fitting.
