Installing the Self-Piercing Inlet Saddle Valve
The self-piercing saddle valve is designed for use with 3/8” to 1/2” OD soft
copper supply tubing.
1. Turn off cold water valve from under sink or main water line valve for
whole house.
2. Before installing self-piercing valve, make sure piercing lance does not
protrude beyond rubber gasket.
3. Assemble saddle valve on copper tubing.
4. Tighten screw to fasten saddle valve to copper tubing.
5. Turn handle clockwise to pierce soft copper tube until valve is firmly
seated. (Valve is closed in this position).
6. Turn on water supply to pressure cold water line and check for leaks.
Installing the Unit
When installed under a sink the unit is normally mounted to the right or left sink cabinet sidewall. It is sug-
gested to locate the system where it can be easily accessed or even removed off the hanging screws and
pulled back out from the sink to change the filters.
1. Locate the unit in the desired position. Make sure it is at least 3” off the floor. Level it and mark the loca-
tion of mounting screws.
2. Install the screws. Leave 1/4” of the screw head out from the wall.
3. Install the mounting bracket slots over the screws and hang the unit.
NOTE: THE UNIT MUST BE INSTALLED BY HANGING THE BRACKET ON THE WALL SO THAT THERE
IS NO WEIGHT ON THE FILTERS. THE SYSTEM IS NOT DESIGNED OR INTENDED TO SIT ON THE
FLOOR WITH THE WEIGHT SUPPORTED BY THE REPLACEABLE FILTER CARTRIDGES.

Installing Tubing Into Fittings
Push the tube into the fitting and up to the
tube stop
Pull on the tube to check that it is secure.
Test the system before use.
Cut the tube square and remove burrs
and sharp edges. Ensure that the out-
side diameter is free from score marks.
For soft or thin walled plastic tubing we
recommend the use of a tube insert.
