Saddle Clamp Installation
Note: Ensure that the mounting location meets the requirements for uniform water flow.
Refer to Flow Sensor Location on Page 44-45.
Note: Ensure that there is enough room for the saddle clamp, sensor and connector to fit.
Refer to Figure 45.
1. Drill and deburr a 1

" to 1

" diameter hole at mounting location.
2. Clean pipe surface in area where saddle clamp gasket will seal.
Note: The sensor housing is epoxied in the saddle clamp with the alignment tab in the
correct position and is not meant to be removed.
3. Place saddle clamp over hole with sensor housing centered.
4. Tighten saddle clamp nuts until the gasket makes a good tight seal.
5. Insert flow sensor into sensor housing. Align flat spot on sensor rim with alignment tab and
make sure o-ring is in groove.
Note: The retainer cap only needs to be hand tightened. There is an inside lip that will
stop the cap from turning when it makes contact with the alignment tab. This provides
the correct pressure to make the seal at the o-ring. Make sure the flow sensor does
not disengage from the alignment tab and rotate.
6. Install retainer cap and hand tighten.
7. Connect cable from display module to flow sensor (the cable is color coded blue).
Refer to Wiring section on Page 68.
