There are different types of saddle brackets available on the market that can be applied in pipes of different
diameters. If an installation of this type is required, follow the instructions below.
NOTE: The maximum application diameter for each sensor size could be reduced due to the different height
between the pipe and the valve.
7.3.5 Flowmeter grounding
Assemble the saddle bracket at the point of installation.
Drill the pipe using the sleeve as a centering jig.
The diameter of the hole must be Ø 25±1mm.
