3) Pierce the copper tubing by turning the needle valve handle clockwise until it is firmly seated.
4) The valve is closed in this position. Turn on the MAIN supply valve to pressurize cold water line.
Immediately check for any signs of leaks.
5) Set aside compression fittings for later use connecting yellow feed tubing to system.
When ready to supply water to the system, turn valve handle counter-clockwise until fully open.
In some instances the self-piercing valve provided will not be compatible with your plumbing. We have
provided a feed valve that will satisfy most scenarios. Alternate parts using standard ¼" compression
fittings can be found at plumbing supply or home improvement stores. On rare occasions, it may be
necessary to contact a plumbing contractor to complete your installation.
installing the Drain
Saddle Valve
The drain saddle assembly
should be installed above the
trap and on the vertical or hori-
zontal tailpiece.
(See Figure 4)
Refer to Figure 5
(below right)
and follow steps 1 through 4.
Do not over-tighten the fitting!
Doing so can crack the drain
saddle. This is a low-pressure
connection; it is not necessary to
screw the fitting all the way into
the saddle.
NOTE:
When installing the
Main Assembly, mount the
frame above the position of
the drain saddle whenever possi-
ble. (
See Figure 8 the next page.)
