2. Mount the Faucet:

 

a)  Familiarize yourself with all components 

shown in faucet diagram. 

b)  Disassemble hardware from the threaded 

nipple, except for chrome base plate and 
rubber washer. 

NOTE: Rubber washer may be replaced with bead 
of plumber’s putty for neater appearance. 

c)   Connect length of standard 1/4" tubing to 

faucet. Ensure plastic insert is in tubing. 
Push on firmly until it seats.  

d)   Feed the threaded nipple through 

sink/counter mounting hole and orient the 
faucet as discussed with the customer.  

e)   From below sink/counter assemble the 

black plastic washer, star washer and hex 
nut on threaded nipple and tighten by hand.  

f)    After rechecking faucet orientation, tighten 

hex nut (9/16" wrench or deep socket) until 
faucet feels secure.  

g)   From above the sink make any minor 

orientation corrections by turning the faucet 
with a padded adjustable wrench.  

h)   Install plastic ferrule and compression nut 

on tubing. 

Note: Flats on chrome faucet may be used for 
tightening with an adjustable wrench.  Use care not 
to mar chrome finish

.  

 

B. Install the Feed Water Valve and Tubing  

 

The saddle tapping valve supplied is designed for 
use with 3/8" to 1/2" OD soft copper supply tubing 
(plain or chromed), rigid metal pipe, or CPVC 
plastic pipe. Do not use with flexible ribbed supply 
tubing which has too thin a wall thickness and 
requires special hard ware.

SOFT COPPER TUBING INSTALLATION:

 

 

1)  Turn off cold water valve under the sink, or 

main valve for the house.  

2)  Before installing saddle tapping valve, make 

sure piercing lance does not protrude 
beyond rubber gasket. 

3)  Assemble saddle tapping valve on copper 

tubing. Tighten clamp.  

4)  To pierce soft copper tube, turn handle 

clockwise until it is firmly seated. The valve 
is closed in this position.  

5)  Turn on main supply valve to pressurize 

coldwater line. Check for leaks. With a 
wrench snug nut/seal around valve stem. 

6) 

Connect one end of the tubing to the feed 
water valve using brass compression nut 
and plastic sleeve. 

 

NOTE: For basement installations the existing feed 
water tubing may have to be longer to reach feed 
valve.  

 

RIGID METAL PIPE AND CPVC PLASTIC PIPE 
INSTALLATION: 

 

1) Turn off cold water supply valve and drain the 

line to prevent spillage.  

2) Drill 3/16" hole at the desired location. To pre-

vent shock hazard, use a battery operated drill.  

3) Before installing saddle tapping valve, make 

sure piercing lance does not protrude beyond 
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 counter 
clock wise.  

7) Connect one end of the tubing to the feed 

water valve using brass compression nut and 
plastic sleeve.  

 

NOTE: For basement installations the existing feed 
water tubing may have to be longer to reach feed 
valve. 

 

C. Pre-fill and Sanitize the Storage Tank

 

 
Pre-filling the tank is always recommended so there 
is pressure to check for leaks and several gallons 
of water to flush carbon post filter. Tanks are 
furnished with a special disinfectant and only
