B. Feed Water Saddle Valve Installation
Decide on location. Do NOT connect to a
hot water feed line. If you are not sure of the
supply, run the hot water and feel the supply
piping. Water over 100°F may cause permanent
damage to the R.O. Membrane. (Refer to Fig. 3)
1. Shut off the water supply and drain the line.
2a. To install on (soft) Copper Tubing supply
line:
•Turn the Handle of the Feed Water Saddle
Valve counter clockwise (outward) until the
lance does not protrude from the gasket. It
may have to be pushed in.
•Assemble the Feed Water Saddle Valve on
the tubing.
– for 3 /
8
" OD tubing use the back plate side
with the small groove to prevent distortion
of the tubing.
– for larger tubing (up to
5
/
8
" OD) use the
large groove of the back plate.
•Assemble and tighten the brass screw.
•To pierce the tubing, turn the Valve Handle
fully clockwise (inward). A small amount of
water may escape from the outlet until it is
fully pierced.
•When you feel the Valve Handle firmly
seated in the clockwise direction, the
copper tube is pierced and the valve is
closed.
2b. To install on (hard) steel or brass tubing
supply line.
•The supply line should now be drained. Use
a battery powered or properly grounded drill
to avoid shock hazard.
•Drill a
3
/
16
" hole in the supply line; (do not
drill through the opposite wall).
•Turn the handle to expose the lance no
more than
3
/
16
" beyond the rubber gasket.
•Place the body of the valve over the hole so
that the lance fits into the hole.
•Assemble and tighten the brass screw.
•Turn the Valve Handle clockwise (inward)
until firmly seated. The valve is closed.
3. With the Feed Water Saddle Valve closed,
open the sink faucet and the water supply
and allow the water to run for a few minutes
to flush any debris caused by the installation.
•Close the faucet and check the Feed Water
Saddle Valve for leaks.
