Apparatus is provided for pneumatically communicating with a pressurized cable provided with a peripheral opening. The apparatus includes a saddle of resilient material having a cross-section defined by a parabola and the arc of a circle. The saddle is adapted to sit astride the cable in surrounding relationship with the opening. A pneumatic fitting is molded into the saddle in generally parallel relationship with the cable. The saddle is provided with a bore communicating with the fitting and generally perpendicular thereto. The bore communicates with the opening in the cable. A sealing compound is provided between the saddle and the cable and the saddle is held on the cable by a pair of straps holding a metal strip against the saddle. An orientation protrusion is located on the saddle in alignment with the bore and protruding through an opening provided in the strip.
Apparatus for pneumatically communicating with a pressurized cable provided with a peripheral opening, said apparatus comprising a saddle of resilient material adapted to sit astride said cable in surrounding relationship with said opening, said saddle having two end faces and defining a concavity having a longitudinal axis, and a pneumatic fitting extending out of one of the end faces of said saddle in cantilever relation thereto and in generally parallel relationship with said axis, said saddle having a profile shielding said fitting.
