Taps, Branches & Fittings
Ten expanded field guides for taps, spin-ins, conical and saddle takeoffs, wyes, tees, boots, register boxes, and plenum collars.
Cut, square, clamp, then fasten.
Control the cookie, protect the main, align the branch from a real reference, and never use the branch to pull a crooked tap into place.
