ABSTRACT:
A fitting assembly and method for attaching to a fluid flow conduit in which a clamp having a threaded port is secured around the conduit. A threaded bushing is inserted into the threaded port and has an axial bore that guides and supports a tool which is inserted through the bore to pierce the corresponding surface of the conduit. After the tool and the bushing are removed from the threaded port, an external component, such as a sensing unit, can be connected to the port to permit access to the fluid for sensing a flow characteristic of the fluid, or the like.
