Hi, I need to change the pipe saddles so I can erect some pipe covering which hopefully will then fit as I will be using products from same company. Do I assume correctly that I undo the central screw and manoeuvre the old saddle from behind the pipes? would this be relatively easy? Alternatively I would prefer to do without them ! are they vital for the pipe support? The pipes follow on themselves so I do not see why it should be a necessity?
Are pipe saddles vital?

I assume you mean can you remove pipe clips and not replace them?
You can but that will leave the pipes unsupported! They aren't for decoration!

There are different types of pipe clips (I've only seen them called saddles in electrical conduit terms but I assume you mean the clips)
Some are bulkier than others and have protrusions at the top as well as having a fold over clip at the front. This type can be replaced with the basic double pipe clips which just look like a 2 thick Cs and has no front.
What type do you have?

I you use a specific type of clip, Talon is one make ( other types are available 
), then you get a clip on plastic cover that pop on to them to enclose the twin pipes.
Yes, undo the old one, slip from under the pipe and replace with new ones.
Yes, they are needed.
