Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or certified water works technician in accordance with AWWA C-800 guidelines and applicable local codes. Depressurize or isolate the main as required by local authority before tapping. Clean and inspect the pipe surface before seating the saddle to ensure proper gasket contact. Torque the stainless steel strap evenly to manufacturer specifications using the appropriate saddle wrench — do not overtighten, as uneven loading can compromise the NBR rubber seal.
