Abstract

The invention relates to a tapping fitting, having a saddle component for positioning on and cohesively connecting to a tubular component, and having a clamping device for clamping the saddle component on the tubular component, characterized in that the clamping device has a tiltable clamping lever with a sliding profile, wherein the clamping lever is mounted via the sliding profile in a bearing shell in a first peripheral portion of the saddle component, and wherein a clamping band is attached on one side to the clamping lever at a distance from a rotation axis about which the clamping lever is tiltable in the bearing shell, and on the other side to a second peripheral portion, located opposite the first peripheral portion, of the saddle component, such that in the case of a tapping fitting positioned on a tubular component, when the clamping lever is tilted, the clamping band is biased and the tapping fitting is pressed against the tubular component.
