Abstract: Apparatus is provided for pneumatically communicating with a pressurized cable provided with a peripheral opening. The apparatus includes a saddle of resilient material having a cross-section defined by a parabola and the arc of a circle. The saddle is adapted to sit astride the cable in surrounding relationship with the opening. A pneumatic fitting is molded into the saddle in generally parallel relationship with the cable. The saddle is provided with a bore communicating with the fitting and generally perpendicular thereto. The bore communicates with the opening in the cable. A sealing compound is provided between the saddle and the cable and the saddle is held on the cable by a pair of straps holding a metal strip against the saddle. An orientation protrusion is located on the saddle in alignment with the bore and protruding through an opening provided in the strip.
