Feed Water Installation:
1.
The feed water assembly consists of a 1/2" slip joint adapter with 2 washers and an angle ball valve.
Locate these parts in the installation kit. If space permits, the angle valve should be installed into the
slip joint adapter before connecting the assembly to the feed water line (Note: Teflon tape must be
used on angle valve to prevent leaks).
2.
Locate cold-water angle shut off valve underneath the sink, usually on the right side, and turn it off.
Open cold water faucet to release the pressure. On single handle faucets, the hot water may need to
be turned off to prevent any hot water from crossing over. If water continues to come out of the
faucet with angle valve turned off the main water supply will have to be turned off.
3.
The slip joint adaptor is usually installed on the cold water faucet shank, but may be installed on the
cold water shut off valve. (Figure 2) If installing on the cold water shut off valve, an adapter will most
likely be required. Use the following instructions for your particular plumbing type.
Flex line Instructions
Loosen nut and separate cold water line from faucet shank. Insert the flat washer into the slip joint
adapter, and gently bend flex line so that the slip joint adapter fits onto faucet shank and tighten slip
joint adaptor to faucet shank. If washer in flex line is worn or damaged, replace before continuing to
prevent any leaks. Re-install cold water line onto slip joint adapter and tighten. (The cone washer is
not used in flex line installations)
Copper Instructions
Loosen nut and separate cold water line from faucet shank. You will need to cut a piece of the
copper tube about 3/4" to 1" (measure to determine the exact cut needed) so the slip joint adapter
can fit between faucet and the copper line. Insert the flat washer into the slip joint adapter and
tighten onto cold water faucet shank. Insert the cone washer into the slip joint adaptor and push the
copper pipe into the washer and adaptor and tighten down the compression nut. Make sure you use
plenty of Teflon tape on all connections.
4.
Once the system is ready to be hooked up, the feed water line will connect to the angle ball valve. To
connect, place the nut and ferrule (white plastic ring) over the feed water line, insert the line into the
angle valve, and tighten the nut. Alternately, if your angle ball valve has a stem on it, slide the nut
over the feed water line, push the line onto the stem, and tighten the
nut down (no ferrule is used).
Drain Saddle Installation:
The drain saddle consists of two (2) halves, (one half has a fitting on it),
two (2) bolts with nuts, & a rubber seal. It is used to direct the waste
water from your system down the drain. Depending on where the
saddle is located, you may hear water running down the drain when the
system is making water, this is normal. If the sound is annoying, the
drain line may be pushed farther in to help alleviate it. Please note,
pushing the drain line in farther than normal requires a good amount of
force, as you are forcing the tubing past the typical stopping point. If
doing so, please use caution to prevent any injuries.
To install:
1.
The drain saddle should be installed above the “P” trap and on the
vertical or horizontal tailpiece (see figure 3). A horizontal location is
ideal, as it is more likely the waste water will be heard if installed on
a vertical pipe.
