01:22In this section, we'll demonstrate the proper way to install Continental products.

01:27Combinator saddle by compression outlet.

01:30All of our products come packaged in a plastic bag with the instructions either enclosed or

01:35printed on the outside of the bag. If the instructions are printed on the outside

01:40of the bag, be sure to open the bag at the top, being careful not to tear the instructions.

01:45This bag contains the eliminator saddle saddle bottom and four mounting screws.

01:52The use of Continental's tapping tool is recommended to help make the process faster and

01:57easier. The area where the saddle is to be installed

02:01must be clean and free of cuts and scratches. After the mounting surface has been prepared,

02:06place the top part of the saddle onto the pipe, then the bottom part joining them together by

02:12hand. The saddle bottom contains a grit patch that

02:15helps keep the saddle from slipping, insert the bolts

02:25and then tighten them in a crisscross pattern.

02:28Making sure the saddle does not rotate or slip around.

02:32The pipe bolts should not be tightened above 120 inch pounds of torque.

02:37Make sure the outer edges of the top and bottom fangs meet.

02:41It is not necessary for the inner edges of the upper and lower fangs to meet flush against

02:47each other before you install the pipe in the outlet.

02:50Make sure it's the correct size.

02:53Make sure the pipe end is clean free of grease and dirt.

02:56Make sure the pipe is cut square after cutting the pipe end square measure and mark the proper

03:03stab length. According to the instructions on the bag loosen

03:07the compression nut until the seal ring is no longer compressed.

03:11Insert the pipe until it bottoms in the outlet, turn the compression nut hand tight,

03:18then use a wrench until it shoulders against the outlet and there is no gap do not over

03:24tighten the line mark for the stab depth should be no more than three quarters of an inch from

03:30the face of the compression nut.

03:32Now remove the cap using Continental's tapping tool, insert the tool into the punch and screw

03:38down the punch until the stop on the tapping tool contacts the top of the t the tap is now

03:44complete to allow flow through the service back. The punch up until the top of the punch is

03:50flush with the top of the tee.

03:52It is important that the top of the punch does not protrude past the top of the T replace the

03:58cap and the installation is complete.

04:01The high volume tapping T or HVT comes with the installation instruction inside the bag.

04:07The bag contains the printed installation instructions, saddle top with compression

04:13outlet, saddle bottom with six mounting holes and the mounting bolt package containing six

04:19mounting bolts. The area where the saddle is to be installed

04:23must be clean and free of cuts and scratches. After the mounting surface has been prepared,

04:29place the top part of the saddle onto the pipe. Then the bottom part joining them together by

04:35hand. Remember that with this installation mount,

04:38the two center bolts. First of those two,

04:41there's one short bolt which mounts right underneath the outlet mate the saddle bottom to

04:47the saddle top against the pipe, placing and tightening the two bolts in the center holes

04:53first in a criss crossing motion, tighten the remaining bolts,

04:58making sure the saddle doesn't slip or turn on the pipe.

05:02Once you make sure the pipe is the proper size, be sure it is cut evenly and has a square edge

05:09mark the stab length on the pipe. According to the instructions,

05:13remove the red cap and the stiffener from the outlet without removing the compression nut.

05:21Compression nuts should be screwed in by hand until you see three or four threads in the back

05:26end place the stiffener into the pipe end until the neural of the stiffener meets the pipe end,

05:33then stab the pipe into the outlet up to but not past the mark.

05:39Tighten the compression nut by hand, then use a pipe wrench to finish tightening.

05:45The installation is complete when the compression nut shoulders up tight against the

05:50outlet leaving no space.

05:54Remove the cap and the O ring using Continental's tapping tool and the socket

05:59wrench screw the punch clockwise until the stop on the tapping tool contacts,

06:04the top of the T tapping is complete to allow flow to the service screw

06:11counterclockwise until the top of the punch is flush with the top of the T.

06:15It is important that the punch does not protrude above the T.

06:19Inspect the O ring for debris and clean if necessary.

06:24Replace the O ring, then replace and tighten the camp.

06:28The installation is complete compression connectors come

06:35with the instructions printed on the bag after making sure the pipe is cut

06:42square, make sure the ends are clean.

06:45Check the instructions for the proper stab depths and mark the pipes loosen the

06:51compression nuts until the seal rings are no longer compressed.

06:56Insert the pipe until it bottoms in the outlet, turn the compression nut hand tight,

07:03then use a wrench until it shoulders against the outlet.

07:06And there is no gap do not over tighten.

07:10The line marked for the stab depth should be no more than three quarters of an inch from the

07:15face of the compression nut repeat for the other end.

07:19Now, the installation is complete.
