EZ-FLO 1/4 Inch (OD) Self Tapping Saddle Valve, Brass, 65801LF

After discovering that our HVAC humidifier line was installed incorrectly on the cold water line by a contractor I ordered this to correct the problem. The saddle valve is well made and was easy to install with nothing but a Phillips Head screwdriver and an adjustable wrench.

Old one was rusted.. So letting it sit there until I have more time.. It works though for swamp cooler water shut off. 👍👍😔

Works great

I was a little worried that the original one might have left a hole too big for this replacement to plug up, but after installing it there were no more leaks. It's also inexpensive enough that I bought two for future use, but looks like I probably will not have to use it for many years to come. Thank you!

Worked as it should.

Bought to replace a leaking fitting, quick and easy to replace. No more leaks.

I have hot water heat and I bought this to install onto a copper pipe to bleed air out the system. Works perfectly. Happy to see that the saddle is steel (thankfully not brass which would bend far to easily) and the saddle and hardware is Yellow Zinc Chromate plated for rust resistance. I have other high spots in my hydronic heating system, and will purchase more of this exact one.

I like it’s easy installation

Installed today. Working awsome. Thank you

worked as described

These pierce type valves are not the greatest to start with. They are often prone to leaking. I have the same issue with this one. It has a slight leak where the valve screws into the top bracket. It's a minor leak and it's installed outdoors so I'm not too upset but be mindful that it is not a matter of if these type of valves will fail, but when. If you have the space but not too handy, Cut the pipe and use a push to connect valve.

Used it for my humidifier

No welding mess. Very easy to use.
