Source & Drain Water Saddle Valve
Shut Off the Water
Locate the water shut-off valve for the cold water feed line
you choose to use for the supply. Accidentally hooking up
the system to the hot supply line will permanently damage
the membrane (See Conditions for operation). To assure
you are using the cold water line, turn on both the hot and
cold faucet. After the water is warm to the touch, feel the
pipes under the sink. It will be easy to identify the hot
and cold pipes.
Close the cold water valve. Turn on the cold water faucet
only to assure that the line is completely shut off and the
line is drained.. If no shut off valve is located under the
sink, turn off the main supply at the entry to the house.
Place the clamp over the cold water supply line. The
aluminum spacer has two sides to adapt to different tubing
sizes. Use the small radius for 3/8” tubing and the large
radius through 5/8”. Use the clamp screw to attach the
saddle to the copper pipe. Tighten the brass clamp screw
with a 7/16” wrench.
Do not crush the tubing
Do not over tighten the clamp. The clamp should be
secure and resist a slight twisting force.
Turn the saddle tapping valve clockwise until the
needle fully pierces the tubing and the valve seats. For
maximum flow, back the handle out all the way. Adjust
as required.
Check for Leaks
Turn on the cold water supply. Check the saddle tapping
valve for leaks. Allow the water to run for a minute to clear
any possible debris from the saddle tapping device.
If flow from the faucet is reduced, remove, clean, and
reinstall the faucet aerator.
Installing the Drain Clamp
Select a location for the drain hole based on the design
of the plumbing. Position the drain outlet saddle on the
drain pipe. Allow adequate space for drilling. Tighten the
bolts evenly on both sides. Avoid overtightening.
Using the opening in the drain outlet saddle as a guide,
drill a 1/4” hole in the drain pipe. Clean debris from the
saddle and threads.
NOTE: Some states require the use of an air gap
faucet. Check your local plumbing code to assure
compliance. Locate the drain connection away
from the garbage dispposal to prevent potential
contamination and system fouling.
