Wall & Ceiling Mounting Capabilities
The Light Saddle is uniquely designed for dual-orientation support, making it suitable for:
Wall Installations
- Routing mechanical or electrical lines along corridors and equipment rooms
- Maintaining consistent pipe spacing and alignment across long linear runs
- Supporting riser branches and vertical distribution
Ceiling Installations
- Supporting overhead distribution where loads are light to moderate
- Ideal for continuous conduit or small piping in service spaces
- Multi-line ceiling bundles and EMT conduit banks
Key Distinction from Half Saddle
| Feature | Light Saddle (NAC-LS) | Half Saddle (NAC-HS) |
| Mounting | Walls AND ceilings | Walls ONLY (vertical) |
| Load Range | Light to moderate (25–192 kg) | Moderate to heavy (35–350 kg) |
| Typical Use | Multi-line routing, conduit, branch lines | Main distribution, risers, heavy piping |
| Wall Thickness | 1.5mm | 2.0mm |
| Profile | Balanced for dual orientation | Optimized for wall support only |
Application Selection Guide
| System | Typical Use | Common Sizes | Recommended Finish | Mounting |
| HVAC Condensate | Ceiling-mounted drain runs | DN15–DN40 | Hot-Dip Galvanized | Ceiling |
| Electrical Conduit | Service rooms and riser banks | DN15–DN50 | Electro-Galvanized | Wall/Ceiling |
| Plumbing Branches | Wall-supported distribution | DN20–DN65 | Pre-Galvanized | Wall |
| Low-Pressure Process | Equipment rooms and shafts | DN25–DN80 | Electro-Galvanized | Wall/Ceiling |
| Cable Tray Support | Light cable runs and supports | DN25–DN50 | Electro-Galvanized | Ceiling |
Support Limitations & Product Selection
When NOT to Use Light Saddle
❌ Large-diameter mechanical mains (>DN100)
❌ Heavily loaded piping systems (>192 kg per support point)
❌ High-pressure steam or refrigerant lines
❌ Critical seismic-rated installations without additional bracing
Recommended Alternatives
For applications beyond Light Saddle capacity, specify:
- Half Saddle (NAC-HS): For vertical wall-only mounting of heavier pipes (up to DN150, 350 kg)
- Pipe Hangers: For suspended ceiling-mounted loads requiring adjustable height
- U-Bolts: For secure clamping of vibrating or high-pressure lines
Installation Requirements
Pre-Installation Checklist
- Verify substrate load-bearing capacity (minimum 5 MPa for concrete ceiling, 3 MPa for walls)
- Confirm pipe size matches Light Saddle diameter specification
- Select appropriate mounting method:
- Ceiling: Threaded rod with concrete inserts or expansion anchors
- Walls: Expansion anchors for concrete/brick, toggle bolts for hollow block
- Ensure mounting surface is clean, level, and free from deterioration
Installation Procedure
- Mark support locations per spacing table above
Use laser level or chalk line to ensure proper alignment across run
- For ceiling installation: Install threaded rod or anchor
Drill to manufacturer specifications; typical: 10mm Ø × 60mm depth for M6, 12mm × 70mm for M8/M10
- For wall installation: Position saddle and mark holes
Verify hole spacing matches saddle mounting holes (see dimensional table)
- Secure Light Saddle to substrate or threaded rod
Recommended torque: 10 Nm for M6, 20 Nm for M8, 35 Nm for M10
CRITICAL: Do not overtighten – avoid deforming saddle profile
- Place pipe/conduit into saddle channel
Ensure full seating along saddle arc; pipe should not rock or pivot
- Verify alignment and support continuity along entire pipe run
Check for consistent spacing and proper load distribution
