Abstract
The invention particularly relates to a tool set making it possible to introduce in a sheath (2) a flow-monitoring device (1) comprising a hollow body (11), a valve (12), a cup-type seal member (13), and a plurality of retention elastic legs (14). This tool set comprises three tools (3, 4, 5), whereof the first tool is formed of a contention bushing (31) and an ejecting pusher (32), whereof the third tool (5) receives the sheath (2) and comprises a cylinder (51) wherein a centering piston (51) slides in the sheath, and whereof the second tool (4) shaped like a funnel, is inserted between the first tool (3) and the third tool (5), and makes it possible to radially compress the seal (13) and the legs (14) of the device (1) while inserting them into the sheath (2) while this device is pushed out of the first tool.
