The new tapping tee has a smooth bore in the tower/cutter mechanism. The tapping tee contains three components: (a) tee-shaped structure having three cylindrical hollow sections for allowing flow of fluid from the main line, allowing flow of fluid to a service line, and allowing access of a tapping tool to a cutter means; (b) unthreaded annular cutter means fitting in and against the unthreaded cylindrical hollow section of the tee-shaped structure; and (c) an O-ring mounted in an upper portion of the annular cutter means and forming a seal against the inside wall of the unthreaded cylindrical hollow section of the tee-shaped structure.
