This means less burden on pumps and reduced pumping costs, because there's less friction between moving Water and pipe walls.

Values for design should be determined by an engineer familiar with site soil conditions. Caution: Saddles and sleeves should not: Distort the pipe when tightened Have lugs that dig into the pipe when the bolts are tightened Have a clamping arrangement not fully contoured to the outside diameter of the pipe For more information on tapping, see Uni-Bell's tapping video and publications Uni-B-8 and Uni-Pub-8.
