INSTALLATION SHEET - SADDLES

3411DI - 3413DI - 3415DI - 3417DI - 3417AS - 3417SW Saddle

GENERAL NOTES:
Notes:

● Over torqueing will not increase the

ability of the saddles to seal

● Suitable pipe thread sealant is

recommended

● Length of bolt thread protruding past top

of nut should be equal distance on both

sides

● Use cave-in protection during excavation

and back-fill operations.

● Verify pipe O.D. to make certain that the

correct range saddle is being used.

● Keep bolt threads clean and free from

nicks, dents or other damage.

● Lubrication of the gasket with soap

solution reduces friction and more

evenly distributes clamping force.

Always re-tighten nuts after installation of

the valve or service line.

RECOMMENDED TORQUE 3411 - 3413

Bolt Diameter Torque (ft-lb)
