3.4 Feed Water Connections
To connect the feedwater, use the supplied self-piercing saddle valve to connect
to the cold water supply line under the sink. Attach the 1/4-inch tubing to the com-
pression fitting on the side of the valve. Clamp the saddle valve over copper or plas-
tic feed line (cold water only). Turn the handle on the valve until the needle stem
pierces the tube. Then retract the needle 1-2 turns to start water flow. See Photo inset.
3.5 Drain Connection (Applies to all models with Reverse Osmosis (R-version))
The black drain line in the back (Fig. 5) must be hooked to the drain line ahead
of the normal sink water trap.
See Figure 6 below. Place the 2 part drain saddle on the drain pipe before the
drain trap. Allow proper space for the drilling operation. Tighten the saddle bolts
evenly on both sides. Using the opening in the drain outlet saddle as a guide, drill a
1/4” hole in the drain pipe. Clean any debris out of the drain saddle connection.
Connect the drain line to the cooler using the 1/4” black tubing supplied.
