•From the top of the counter place the stud

through the mounting hole.

•From the bottom of the counter top in the

following order assemble the steel Slotted

3/8" Polytube Quick Connect Fitting. Once
snug by hand take a pair of pliers and tighten
the fitting an additional half turn. Don’t over
tighten.

•Rotate the Spout and Body into position.

Align the Slotted Washer and the Spacer to

allow access to the Hose Barbs, and tighten
the Hex Nut while holding the faucet in
alignment with a padded Crescent wrench.
Do not over tighten.

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 85°F may cause permanent damage to
the RO Membrane. (Refer to Fig. 3 below.)

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.
