Don't use galvanized/zinc saddles onto a copper pipe. Only on for s few days and a bad reaction had started. Use the proper coated ones for copper. cheers Craig

Hi Iana,
In this case on an outside new hose tap standpipe. It was an electrical single sided one that was very strong and fitted to the existing green plug in the wall as well. But after reading about the "pig tail" issue and gas regulators etc. I thought it was worth a mention if anyone decided to re route or support any gas piping. It certainly would have caused a real problem.Lucky my plumber mate spotted it. cheers Craig
