Yes it is easy, but you have to make sure it has a non return vale in it, I personally would not use a tap kit that you screw to cut into pipe .

get a pipe slice, and some push fits, some 15mm copper/plastic. tap and fitting plate.

Or pay a local plumber to do it, if you need to buy all the stuff it will be cheaper  ;)

yes it does clamp, then you tighten it up and it cuts into the pipe, I did this with one and for some reason water trickled out of tap, so installed a proper tap connection problem solved, works for some I guess.
