STEP 4
Drain Saddle Installation
NOTICE
If you have a garbage disposal, do not install the drain saddle
near it. Installation of the drain saddle must be either above the
garbage disposal, or if a second sink drain is available, install
it above the cross bar on the second drain. Installation of the
drain saddle near a garbage disposal may cause the drain line
to plug.
Step A -
Determine if a ¼" tube connection or
3
/
8
" tube connection
drain saddle should be installed . For Air-Gap RO Faucets
(3 tubes) use larger
3
/
8
" tube connection drain saddle . For
non air-gap RO faucets (1 tube) use ¼" tube connection
drain saddle .
Step B -
Gather the pieces of the drain saddle:
(1) Saddle - Front Portion
(1) Saddle - Rear Portion
(1) Foam Gasket
(2) Screws
(2) Nuts (for Screws)
NOTICE
The drain saddle must be installed at least 11/2" above the nut
of the P-Trap elbow or cross bar from the garbage disposal to
ensure proper drainage.

Step B -
Using a

" drill bit for
3
/

" drain saddle or ¼" drill bit for ¼"
drain saddle, drill into the drain pipe at best available loca-
tion as specified above, for drain saddle installation . Take
extreme caution to only drill through one side of the drain
pipe .
Step C -
The small square black foam
gasket with a circle cut out of
the middle must be applied to
the inside of the drain saddle .
Remove sticky tape backing
and stick to the drain saddle
as shown .
Step D -
Assemble the drain saddle
around the drain pipe and align
drain saddle fitting opening with
the hole drilled in the previous
step - you may use a small
screwdriver to feed through the
drain saddle into the drain pipe
to aid with the alignment . Using
a Phillips screw driver tighten
the drain saddle bolts evenly
and securely on both sides .
NOTICE
Do not over tighten the screws. It may crack the drain saddle.
STEP 5 - Option 1
1/4" Drain Saddle Option
(For Use with Non-Air Gap Faucets)
Step 1.A -
In the parts bag, locate the ¼" red tube . Connect the
tube to the elbow fitting on the back of the RO Module -
behind the RO Membrane . Make sure the tube is pushed
in all the way to the tube stop .
Step 1.B -
Push the ¼" red drain tube
open end through the black
compression nut included in
the drain saddle kit . Insert the
drain tube into the opening in
the drain saddle, hand tighten
the black nut and add ¼" turn
with a wrench . Continue to
Step 6 .
STEP 5 - Option 2

" Drain Saddle Option
(For Use with Air Gap Faucets)
Step 2.A -
Locate the ¼" red tube attached to the RO Faucet .
Connect the tube to the elbow fitting on the back of the
RO Module - behind the RO Membrane . Make sure the
tube is pushed in all th way to the tube stop
Step 2.B -
Measure the
3
/
8
" black tube
from faucet to the drain saddle
on the drain pipe and make
a straight cut to the correct
length .
Step 2.C -
Connect the black tube to the
open quick connect fitting on
the drain saddle by pushing
the tube all the way to the tube
stop . Continue to Step 6 .
NOTICE
The black
3
/
8
" drain tube must be as SHORT and STRAIGHT
as possible to the drain saddle, making a downward slope
from faucet to drain saddle to allow for proper drainage. This
is a gravity fed line and if there is any bend or dip in the tube,
the rinse water will not flow into the drain properly. Water
may back up and come out the air gap hole in the back of
the faucet.
