3) Before installing saddle tapping valve, make
sure pierc ing lance does not protrude be yond
rubber gasket.
4) Assemble saddle tapping valve on copper tubing.
5) Turn saddle valve handle clockwise to close
valve. With a wrench tighten nut/seal around
valve stem.
6) When you wish to open valve and supply
cold water to the unit, turn valve handle
coun ter clock wise.
7) Connect one end of the tubing to the feed
water valve using brass compression nut
and plas tic sleeve.
NOTE: For basement installations the existing
feed water tubing may have to be longer to reach
feed valve.
C. Prefill and Sanitize the Storage Tank
Prefilling the tank is always rec om mend ed so there
is pressure to check for leaks and several gallons of
water to flush carbon post filter. Tanks are fur
-
nished with a special disinfectant and only re quire
filling with water for 15 min utes to be com plete ly
sanitized. It is im por tant to use a sanitizer when
prefilling tank so the solution can sanitize the
tubing, fit tings, and faucet at the time of installa-
tion and startup.
1) Insert free end of feed water tubing into the
fitting on the stor age tank.
2) Open feed water valve and tank valve and
allow tank to fill (about 3 minutes).
3) Turn off feed water valve, tank valve,
remove tank from tubing and set tank aside
(15 minutes minimum).
D. Install the Drain Connection
IMPORTANT: Before starting this pro ce dure, in -
spect the condition of the drain piping, especially
in older homes where the traps and tailpieces can
be deceptively thin and frail. If in poor condition,
it is wise to inform the customer that the condi-
tion should be remedied.
The drain saddle assembly is de signed to fit
around a standard 1-1/2" OD drain pipe.
The drain saddle should always be installed above
(before) the trap and on the vertical or horizontal
tailpiece. Never in stall the drain saddle close to the
outlet of a gar bage disposal or plugging of the RO
drain line may occur.
1) Peel adhesive covering from the back of foam
square gasket and line up with the hole in the
saddle drain and apply. This gasket provides a
leak proof seal on the drain stand pipe.
2) Position both halves of drain saddle at desired
lo ca tion on drain pipe.
3) Use bolts and nuts to clamp drain saddle onto
drain pipe. Do not over tight en and make sure
there is equal space between saddle halves on
each side.
4) Carefully drill hole through threaded fitting
of drain sadlle (as shown in Photo 2) being
careful not to drill through opposite side of
drain pipe.
5) Wrap teflon tape on thread of fitting, insert
drain tubing into compression nut and tighten
onto drain sad dle.
