These are used to join all the piping together. They consist of a
three-bolt compression clamp, black gasket, and a grounding
strip.
In order to fully function, the clamp must be fully tightened
for maximum clamping force.
o
Ground strip is put into place in order to prevent
static electricity build up.

The mounting brackets are mounted to the wall or to
any other solid support.
o
The saddle clamps are attached to the mounting
brackets.
