Used in agricultural, municipal & civil, and horticultural industries, these tapping bands designed and manufactured in Australia, are renowned for their high quality and ease of use.

The white tapping bands are for series 1 white PVC, Blue is used for series 2 PVC pipe, and black is suited to Metric OD Polyethylene pipe.
