Abstract
A mounting assembly for a take-off branch of a primary pipe 1 includes a rectangular based, tubular connection member 3 extending outwardly from the pipe through a rectangular aperture 2 in the pipe wall and having clamping tongues 3c, 3d engaging under the aperture edges on opposite sides thereof, an external gasket 4 fitted over the connection member and seating against its base and the outer surface of the pipe, and a rigid saddle 5 overlying the gasket. Four extendible tightener bolts 7, 8 are installed between the corners of the saddle and abutment supports recessed into the connection member base, and are unthreaded during installation to compress the gasket and establish a uniform seal.
