Installation Procedure Service Saddle
  1. Thoroughly clean the damaged area of pipe with a wire brush where the service saddle will be installed. This will help insure a bubble tight gasket seal.
  2. Make sure gasket is properly positioned and firmly bonded to top half of saddle before you place saddle on pipe or gas line. If gasket is not properly positioned or loose, dangerous or even fatal gas leakage will occur.
  3. Place the saddle in position, and tighten the bolt to the proper torque(see table below).
  4. Make the service line connection with the method chosen, eg. drilling device, etc.
  5. Pressure test the completed installation for leaks.
  6. Check for leaks before leaving.
