D. Drain Saddle Installation
Prior to drain saddle installation it is important to inspect the
condition of drain pipes to make sure they are not thin and frail.
Drain saddle valves are designed to be installed on standard 1
-1/2” OD drain pipe. Install the drain saddle valve above the
trap (between the sink and trap) and on the vertical or
horizontal tailpiece. Never install a drain saddle valve close to
the outlet of a garbage disposal or plugging of the RO drain
line may result.
Procedures
1. Position the port side of the drain saddle valve at selected
location and mark for the opening. Never position the
opening at the bottom. A side or top position is
recommended. Install rubber gasket on this half of the
drain saddle. Be sure the gasket hole is lined up with the
port hole.
2. Drill 1/4” hole at mark through one side of pipe.
3. Position both halves of drain saddle on drain pipe so
threaded opening lines with hole. A screwdriver may be
used to keep the holes oriented during the tightening
process.
4. Secure drain saddle clamp on valve with bolts and nuts
provided. (Do not over tighten and make sure there is equal
space between saddle halves on each side.)
5. Install the black drain line to the port on the drain saddle.
Leave the other end of this line loose to be connected later.
E. Tank Installation
1. Apply Teflon tape to the Tank outlet threads. About 3-4
wraps will be sufficient.
2. Install the tank valve by turning it clockwise. Tightening it
hand tight is usually adequate but additional tightening may be
required.
