Installation Procedure
Step #1| Thoroughly clean the selected area with a wire brush. Remove
all pipe scale, rust, and foreign material. This will help insure a “bubble
tight” seal.

Step #2| Make sure the gasket is properly positioned and firmly bonded
to the top half of saddle before you place your saddle on pipe or gas line. If
gasket is not properly positioned or loose, dangerous or even fatal gas
leakage may occur.
Step #3| Place the Saddle in position and then tighten the bolt to the
proper torque (see above table).
Step #4| Make the service line connection with the method chosen, eg.
Drilling Device, etc.
Step #5| Pressure test the complete installation for leaks.
Step #6| Check for leaks before leaving repair site.
GASKET Material: Buna-N (Nitrile Rubber) rated at 250 F Max to -20 F Min Temp.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT EXCEED TEMPERATURE OR PRESSURE RATINGS!
