Inspect
• After unpacking the unit, inspect carefully for any damage that may
have occurred during transit. Check for loose, missing or damaged
parts. Shipping damage claims must be filed with carrier.
• See General Safety Instructions, and all Cautions, Warnings, and
Dangers as shown.
To do a complete and successful installation, you must carefully read this manual
and the manual for the sensor.
BEFORE CUTTING A HOLE IN THE PIPE
• Verify you have all the pieces.
• Verify this saddle size is the same as your pipe outside diameter.
• Verify the pipe is not pressurized.
• Verify the desired hole location is more than 10 diameters downstream
and 5 diameters upstream from any obstructions. Valves, pumps,
elbows, reducers are all considered obstructions.
• Note that the finished hole diameter should be between 1-15/16” to 2”.
It should be clean and free of burrs.
• We recommend the hole be made with a hole saw.
• Note the direction of flow. Measuring water only.
Tools and Materials Needed
• Ø1-15/16” to Ø2.0” hole saw and drill
• 7/16” end wrenches
• Tape measure
• Permanent marker

Step 1 – Drilling hole:
It is recommended that the saddle/sensor not be located on the very top or very
bottom of the pipe. Ideal performance can be achieved with the saddle mounted at
2 to 4 o’clock or 8 to 10 o’clock. Hole should also be drilled perpendicular to the pipe
centerline and tangent to the curvature.
Step 2 – Mounting the saddle:
The saddle will need to be preassembled to insure the fit is proper. Assemble the
hardware as shown in Figure 1. Tighten only the bottom nuts that hold the threaded
studs to the saddle.

Attach 2 each band clamps

tighten with 7/16 inch
wrench. Recommended
Torque is 75 IN·LB.
NOTE: Clamps can loosen
when mounted to plastic

Step 3 – Mounting the Sleeve:
Remove the top two nuts and pull sleeve from
saddle. Using a tape measure, measure the
distance from the lip of the inside of pipe to the
top of the saddle. Reference the asterisk in
Figure 3.
Transpose this measurement
onto the sleeve as shown
in Figure 4 and mark with a
permanent marker.

Determining the K-factor:
The K-factor value is needed to convert the sensor’s output pulsed into
volume or rate data. The graphs located on the back of the Quick Start
Guide show K-factor values for many versions of water lines. By knowing
the line you’re using or the inside diameter of the line, you can determine
this value.
The values on the graphs are indicated in Pulses per Gallon. Some
controllers and register equipment want this value in terms of frequency.
When this is the case, divide 60 by the K-factor (see following pages for
these values).
Example: (8-inch Sch40 = 1.838 Pulses per Gallon) 60 / 1.838 = 32.644
Many of K-factor values shown in the graphs were theoretically generated
from actual lab test data. Because of this, these graphs are for reference
only, actual system accuracy should always be verified if possible.
