Customer-Facing Q&A
Q: What does this saddle clamp kit do?
A: It provides the mounting interface for the chemical controller’s manifold on a 2-inch pipe run, ensuring the feed and sensor placement meet manufacturer requirements.
Q: Which systems is this compatible with?
A: It is compatible with Pentair IntelliChem® and IntelliPh® control systems when used with 2-inch plumbing and a check-valve.
Q: Do I need any other parts to install this?
A: Ensure you have the required check-valve, tubing, and manifold as specified in the chemical controller’s installation instructions. The saddle clamp is the pipe mounting accessory only.
Q: How difficult is the installation?
A: The saddle installs by clamping onto the existing 2″ piping — minimal plumbing adaptation is required if correctly sized. Always follow power and chemical safety guidelines.
Q: Why should I use the OEM clamp rather than a generic one?
A: Using the OEM-specified clamp ensures proper factory mounting and alignment, maintaining the chemical control system’s warranty compliance and accurate flow sensing.
