The method of installation must be consistent with company policy or contract specifications.
Position the pipe saddle on the meter run. Select a location that allows easy user access and is close to the lines.
Lines should be as short as possible.
Temporarily attach the saddle on the meter run pipe using the U-bolt and associated hardware.
Screw the 2” by 40” mounting pipe into the saddle.
