I am looking for an item that is very similar to "Boot Saddle Tap" but has an option for "Hole Adjust".

We want to use something similar to "Boot Saddle Tap" (CID 871) that we can use to branch out from a round pipe to another round pipe at a 90 degree angle, and it has a 45-degree slope to allow air to flow smoothly.  Unfortunately, this item doesn't have option for "Hole Adjust".  The result is that the hole on the "Plate" matches exactly to the size and shape of the opening of the air-entering opening of the Boot Saddle Tap -- actually this is too exact with no margin of error.  We want the hole to be slightly smaller to allow us to mount the tap body on the plate securely.  Normally we deal with this issue in other items by having a -0.625" Hole Adjust.  But Boot Saddle Tap doesn't have an option for "Hole Adjust".

I have played around with the options in Boot Saddle Tap.  But I cannot find a way to shrink the hole size.

I would like to know if there is a different item that is very similar to Boot Saddle Tap and that has an option for Hole Adjust.  Please let me know which item file that is.  Thanks in advance.

You can use CID#808 and set the pipe parts to none

Thanks Jona for the suggestion.  CID#808 looks good.

The good thing is that we can use it to fabricate 1 or 2 boot-saddle-taps with the option to adjust the hole size.

The downside is that the main pipe is always visible despite the fact that it is not developed.  Seem like the best use of this item is to have both the boot-saddle-tap and the main pipe as one unit instead of using it just for the boot-saddle-tap.  I will let the shop know to see how they feel.  I consider this case as solved.

I appreciate your help.
