Caution:
If you have a garbage disposal, do not install the drain line near it. Installation of the drain
line must be either above the disposal, or if a second sink drain is available, install it above
the cross bar on the second sink. Installation of the drain line near a garbage disposal
may cause the drain line to plug. If no other installation of drain line is available, Watts
offers drain line installation kits that can be used (part numbers 164014 and 164020) with
garbage disposals.
Assemble the drain saddle around the drain pipe at least 1 ½”
above the nut of the P-trap to allow for the removal of the P-trap if
necessary. Using a Philips screw driver tighten screws evenly and
securely on both sides of the drain saddle.
Insert a ¼” drill bit into the opening of the drain saddle and drill a
hole in to the drain pipe.
NOTE: Take extreme caution to only
drill through one side of the drain pipe and not all the way
through.
Attach black compression nut to the drain saddle, but do not tighten
at this time. The black tubing will be installed later.
