The new Rain Bird Saddle Tee will do so much for the convenience factor in working with poly pipe, irrigation installers may begin leaving their tools in the truck. To make a rock solid connection for spray heads anywhere along the line, all you do is wrap and lock the heavy gauge ratcheting saddle around the pipe, then turn the piercing cap all the way down to its locked position. There’s less digging needed for clearance. And when the system is pressurized, the connection gets even stronger, guarding against water leaks and waste.
