Attach Feed Water Adaptor to RO System:

 

a)

 

Attach one end of the included red tubing to the needle valve on the feed water 
adaptor as shown in 

Fig. 5c.

 The plastic insert must be pushed in as far as it will 

go into the tubing.

 

b)

 

Attach the other end of the red tubing to the RO System on the quick connect 
elbow fitting, marked with a 

RED

 

DOT.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Part 2:   Drain Saddle Installation  

1)

 

The drain saddle assembly should be installed above the trap and on the vertical or 
horizontal tailpiece. To reduce the drainage noise, mount the drain line as low as 
possible above the trap, or on the horizontal tailpiece.

See Fig. 6

 

2)

 

Mark the position of the hole on the drain pipe and drill a 1/4’’ hole through one side 
of the drain pipe. There is a piece of self-adhesive sponge provided. Stick this sponge 
to the inside of the saddle. This will cushion any gap between the saddle and the 
pipe. Make sure the hole on the sponge is thoroughly punched out, and is aligned to 
the hole on the saddle. 

See Fig. 7
