Make the Reverse Osmosis Waste Connections
The “RO” filter assembly requires a drain line connection to
be installed, which removes rejected water to the sewer. The
drain saddle connects the drain line from the dispenser to
your drain pipe. The drain saddle is designed to fit around a
standard 1.5 in. OD (outer diameter) drain pipe.
Always install the drain saddle BEFORE the P-trap (15).
Ensure the drain saddle is in place on a vertical or
horizontal section of the pipe.
To avoid clogging the drain line with debris, do not
install the drain saddle on a section of piping that is
located after the drain pipe meets a garbage disposal
or dishwasher drain.
To make the Reverse Osmosis (RO) drain connections:
A.
Determine the location for your drain saddle (H) and
then make a mark on the drain pipe for the opening
(16).
B.
Use your drill and a 1/4 in. drill bit to create a hole at
the mark, ensuring you only drill through one side of
the drain pipe.
C.
Find the half of the drain saddle (H) with the hole in
the center, remove the backing from the foam gasket,
align the gasket with the hole on the drain saddle (H),
and stick the adhesive side of the gasket to the drain
saddle (H).
D.
Position both halves of the drain saddle (H) on the
drain pipe with the saddle’s opening aligned over the
drilled hole, and insert your drill bit through the saddle
(H) and drilled hole to ensure proper alignment.
E.
Secure both ends of the drain saddle (H) together
using the bolts and nuts, but do not overtighten.
F.
Connect the RO waste water tube (I) to the drain
saddle (H).
