A saddle valve is a type of valve used to tap into an existing water line, allowing for the addition of a new fixture or water supply without the need for extensive plumbing modifications. It typically consists of a body that attaches to the pipe and a mechanism to create a seal and puncture the existing pipe, allowing water to flow through the valve to the new line.
