Procedures:
1. Center punch small indent for hole.
2. Drill the required pilot hole.
3. Set-up the chassis punch per instructions and
tighten nut to cut the desired hole size.
4. Clean up sharp edges with file.
2. Mounting the faucet
Disassemble hardware from the threaded nipple,
except for chrome base plates and rubber washers.
(Rubber washers may be replaced with bead of
plumber's putty for neater appearance.)
Feed the threaded nipple through sink or counter
mounting hole and orient the faucet. From below
sink or counter, assemble the white spacer flat
washer, star washer and hex nut on threaded nipple
and tighten by hand. After checking faucet
orientation, tighten with a wrench until secure.

3. Feed water valve and tubing installation
The saddle tapping valve which is supplied is
designed for use with 3/8" to 1/2" OD soft copper
supply tubing (plain or chromed) and rigid metal
pipe. Do not use with flexible ribbed supply tubing,
which is too thin and requires special hardware.
Self-taping feed water saddle valve installation
Installation procedures using soft copper tubing:
1. Turn off cold water valve from under sink or
main water line valve for whole house.
2. Before installing saddle tapping valve, make
sure piercing lance does not protrude beyond
rubber gasket.
3. Assemble saddle valve on copper tubing.
4. Turn handle clockwise to pierce soft copper
tube until valve is firmly seated. (Valve is
closed in this position.)
5. Turn on water supply to pressure cold water
line.
6. Snug nut/seal with wrench around valve stem.
7. Connect tubing to feed water valve using brass
compression nut, insert and plastic sleeve.
Saddle valve installations with metal pipe:
1. Turn off cold water supply.
2. Drill 3/16" hole at desired location.
3. At this point, make sure piercing lance does not
protrude beyond rubber gasket.
4. Assemble saddle on to pipe, aligning with hole.
5. Turn saddle valve handle clockwise to close
valve.
6. Tighten nut/seal around valve stem with
wrench.
7. Connect tubing to feed water valve using brass
compression nut, insert and plastic sleeve.
8. Turn on cold water supply.
9. To open valve, turn handle counterclockwise
and check for leaks.
4. Initial tubing connections
For convenience on under counter installations it
may be advisable to complete under counter hose
connections at this time.
5. Unit installation
To mount the drinking water unit, elevate it at least
2" off the floor, level it and mark the location of
mounting holes needed. Drill holes for mounting
screws and install screws, allowing the mounting
bracket slots to slip over them.
Note: If the cabinet sidewalls are not solid, unit
may sit on the floor with screws to keep it against
the cabinet in a vertical position.
6. Final tubing connections
With all components in place, complete final tubing
connections using these guidelines:
