Abstract: A water main tapping device and method includes a saddle body including an arcuate portion between a first end and a second end, wherein the saddle body includes a saddle opening at a location between the first end and the second end, and a corporation stop body formed integrally with and extending from the saddle body. The corporation stop body includes a base with an inlet cavity in fluid communication with the saddle opening, a housing extending from the base and having a valve cavity in which a rotatable valve is positioned and which is in fluid communication with the inlet cavity, and a connector end extending from the housing and including an outlet in fluid communication with the valve cavity.

Abstract: A water main tapping device includes a saddle body including an arcuate shape between a first clamp end and a second clamp end, wherein the saddle body includes a saddle opening at a point between the first clamp end and the second clamp end, and a corporation stop body formed integrally with the saddle body at the saddle opening. The corporation stop body includes a base on the saddle body, a housing atop the base, and a connector end atop the housing. A valve housed in a valve cavity within the housing of the corporation stop body. The base of the corporation stop body includes an inlet cavity and the connector end of the corporation stop body includes an outlet cavity, and the opening of the saddle body, the inlet cavity, the valve cavity, and the outlet cavity are in fluid communication.
