Saddle Water Flow Indicator

The durable Saddle Water Flow Indicator is manufactured by FUXEON® and is mainly composed of the saddle seat, blade support, base, outer cover, air delay device, microswitch, and junction box, etc. It can be divided into three types: flange, saddle and groove, and the appropriate type can be selected according to different places of use and engineering conditions. In addition, the water flow indicator can be divided into two types: time-delay circuit and non-delay circuit, and the delay time can be selected from 2 seconds to 90 seconds depending on the operating conditions.

Technical Parameters

Installation of the vane type water flow indicator:

At the preset installation position of the saddle type water flow indicator, drill holes in the main pipeline using a twist drill bit, and remove the burrs according to the product specifications Roll the blades into small sizes and put them into the pipe, install the U-bolts, and secure with two fastening nuts.

FAQ

Q1: Which pipeline systems are saddle water flow indicators suitable for?

A: Saddle water flow indicators are non-invasive flow monitoring devices, mainly applied in fire protection systems, especially automatic sprinkler systems (wet, dry, pre-action types). They are also suitable for water supply and drainage, industrial circulation, and renovation projects, ideal for scenarios where pipeline cutting/welding is not allowed, such as historical building fire upgrades, fiberglass pipelines, and data centers.

Q2: What types of media can saddle water flow indicators handle?

A: They are mainly suitable for clean water and fire water, and can also handle mild corrosive liquids. They are widely used in fire sprinkler systems, cooling systems, and water circulation pipelines, but not recommended for media containing large solid particles, which may block the internal paddle and affect signal feedback.

Q3: What are the core application advantages of saddle water flow indicators?

A: The core advantage is non-invasive installation—clamped on the pipeline outer wall via saddle-shaped fixtures, no need to cut pipelines or shut down systems, saving installation time and labor costs. They can convert water flow signals into electrical signals for remote monitoring, with built-in delay function to avoid false alarms, and can accurately locate fire zones in sprinkler systems.
