the inside of the saddle clamp making sure that the yellow tubing is showing through at least 1/2 inch
(Fig. 23). Now secure the saddle clamp in its chosen location firmly making sure the tubing is inserted
into the drain pipe. You only need to tighten the bolts to the point where the gasket begins to com-
press against your drain pipe. Insert the other end of the yellow discharge line to the E- Z Flush Flow
Restrictor on the back of the unit.
14.0 Installing the Faucet.
Installing the faucet is next. You will most likely be installing the faucet through the sink top or beside
the sink top. Below are 4 different types of counters. Follow the instructions for your counter type. Be
aware that you can drill through your stainless steel sink but you will also have to drill through what-
ever counter material you have underneath your sink. If you have a porcelain sink, we advise against
an amateur installation. Either find another spot (like
beside
the sink) or get a Pro.
a) Laminate: the most common material is a laminated counter top. Choose the most appropriate
spot on top, then crawl under and see where it clears. Remember, you have a large plastic washer
to put under the counter. The safe thing to do is to drill a pilot hole with your smallest bit first. Then
drill a ½ inch hole and assemble the faucet (refer to diagram above). The rubber gasket goes under
the chrome faucet and the plastic washer goes under the counter. After putting the plastic washer in
place, put on the lock washer and then tighten the nut. Either have someone hold the faucet or put
a wrench on it and secure the wrench to prevent it from turning while you tighten the nut. Be careful
not to damage the faucet surface.
b) Stainless Steel: Do the same as for laminate, except be really sure of your clearance space. Take a
metal punch (or a big nail) and give the magic spot a good hit. At this indentation drill a pilot hole.
A wood drill will not do it. You must use a metal drill bit suitable for stainless. Once the pilot hole is
made, follow up with a ½” hole and attach the faucet.

Assembling and

clamp
The material of the Drain Saddle Clamp is flexible. If your drain pipe is slightly larger than the cir-
cumference of the drain saddle clamp simply press the saddle clamp firmly onto the drain in order
to catch the bolts on the opposite side.
