Installation Hardware Instructions
Hot Tap Installation Kit for Applications Requiring Pipe Saddles
For F-1100, F-1200 & FB-1200 Series Insertion Turbine Flow Meters
This kit can be installed on a pressurized pipe. A hot tap drilling machine is used to create a one
inch opening in the pipe wall. Once installed, this kit allows for insertion and removal of the flow
meter without a system shutdown.
Directions:
1. Identify an appropriate location for the flow meter
(see pages 2-4).
2. Clamp the saddle onto the pipe; refer to
manufacturer’s instructions.
3. Install the close nipple and ball valve as shown
below. Use a paste type thread sealant. DO NOT
use Teflon ® tape.
4. Use a hot tap drilling machine with a 1” hole saw
to drill the access hole.
5. Remove the drill; then flush all debris out of the
valve.
6. Use the 1” reducer provided in this kit when
installing the flow meter.
Important Note
ONICON insertion flow meters
are precision measuring devices
that must be installed according to
the instructions contained in this
document in order to maintain their
accuracy and reliability. Failure to
follow these instructions will result
in erratic operation and reduced
accuracy.
NOTE: Before installing the flow meter,
read the entire installation manual.
(see Sections 3.1 and 3.2).
