5.1 Special note about braided wire plumbing
Please Note: DO NOT ATTEMPT
TO INSTALL THE NEEDLE PIERCING
SADDLE CLAMP TO BRAIDED WIRE
PLUMBING (Fig. 6).
You can install the needle piercing saddle clamp to
all other forms of cold water lines found under the
common sink, just not the kind of plumbing de-
picted in Fig 6. The braided plumbing in Fig 6 is too
soft a material and will therefore not allow for the
proper seal needed. The inside of braided plumbing lines may vary and therefore may look differently
from this example. Don’t let this confuse you. If the plumbing line is braided, DO NOT attempt to install
the feed water needed piercing valve to it. If you have this kind of plumbing there is usually a piece of
copper pipe that is located directly under your kitchen sink’s faucet assembly which you can mount to
OR see our 3/8” x 3/8” x 1/4” plumbing adaptor on our website.
5.2 Installing the Needle Piecing Saddle Clamp to the cold water line.
Rotate the horizontal turning bar of the needle piercing valve to the left (counter clockwise) as you
do not want to pierce your cold water line at this stage. Make sure the needle is retracted all the way.
Next, clamp your cold water line TIGHTLY using the needle piercing saddle clamp which can be found
in your Large Parts Bag. (Fig. 7) You will need a Phillips screwdriver and small pair or pliers for this step.
Be sure to install above your
sink’s shut off valve.
DO NOT ATTACH TO THE HOT
WATER PIPE—AS HOT WATER
WILL DAMAGE THE FILTERS
WITHIN YOUR SYSTEM.
DO NOT PIERCE THE COLD
WATER LINE AT THIS
STAGE !
5.3 Connecting the feed water line to your system.
Next, take the 2-4 Inch piece of red tube from the Small Parts Bag and insert it into the elbow on the
“INLET” (left) side of the pre-filters (Fig. 8 - next page), then take the manual shut off valve, also found
in the Small Parts Bag, and attach it to the other end of the red tube (Fig. 8 - next page).

To more easily insert the tubing into the various fittings of your system it
is helpful to remove the blue “C” clip from around the collet and then in-
sert the tubing. After the tubing has been inserted into place, pull lightly
on the tubing in order to make room for the blue “C” clip and then place
the blue “C” clip back into its original position. The blue “C” clip holds the
collet in its proper position while the system is in operation.
