Installation Requirements

Pre-Installation Checklist

  • Verify substrate load-bearing capacity (minimum 5 MPa for concrete, 3 MPa for solid masonry)
  • Confirm pipe size matches Half Saddle diameter specification
  • Select appropriate anchor type: expansion anchors for concrete/brick, toggle bolts for hollow block
  • Ensure mounting surface is clean, dry, and free from deterioration

Installation Procedure

  1. Mark support locations per spacing table above

Use chalk line or laser level to ensure alignment across multiple supports

  1. Position Half Saddle and mark anchor holes

Verify hole spacing matches saddle mounting holes (see dimensional table)

  1. Drill mounting holes to anchor manufacturer specifications

Typical: 10mm diameter × 60mm depth for M6 anchors, 12mm × 70mm for M8/M10

  1. Install anchors and secure Half Saddle

Recommended torque: 12 Nm for M6, 25 Nm for M8, 40 Nm for M10

  1. Place pipe/conduit into saddle cradle

Ensure full contact along saddle arc; pipe should not rock or pivot

  1. Verify alignment across support run before final tightening
