When assembled, what is the inner diameter of this saddle valve? (no guessing-i need to attach it to a 1 1/2" pvc which is nearly 2" outside diameter)

I used it on 1 1/2" schedule 40 pvc with no problem.

Does this product require a tubing insert and a ferrule for the compression fitting? Else, what keeps it from leaking?

no...its a compression fit, comes with rubber insert does not leak

Does this come with an adhesive foam gasket to stick on the inner part of the plastic semicircle?

Hello, yes, this comes with the adhesive foam. If you need any help or assistance, feel free to contact us directly by calling 1-800-880-4808 or e-mailing us at info@apecwater.com. We are in the office from Monday-Friday from 8:00am-5:30pm PST. Best Regards, APEC Customer Service
