Source & Drain Water Saddle Valve
Shut Off the Water
Locate the water shut-off valve for the cold water feed
line you choose to use for the supply. Accidentally
hooking up the system to the hot supply line will
permanently damage the membrane (See Conditions
for operation). To assure you are using the cold
water line, turn on both the hot and cold faucet. After
the water is warm to the touch, feel the pipes under
the sink. It will be easy to identify the hot and cold
pipes.
Close the cold water valve. Turn on the cold water
faucet only to assure that the line is completely shut
off and the line is drained.. If no shut off valve is
located under the sink, turn off the main supply at
the entry to the house.
Installing Supply Feed
(A)
Flex Line:
Loosen nut and separate cold water
riser tube from faucet shank. Gently bend riser tube
so that slip joint fits onto faucet shank. Replace the
existing cone washer with new washer provided in
installation kit onto cold water riser tube. Reinstall
riser tube onto slip joint adapter and tighten.
(B)
Solid Copper Riser Tube:
Same procedure as
flex tubing except you must cut a piece of the riser
tube about 3/4” to 1” so the slip joint adapter can fit
between faucet and riser tube (Teflon tape must be
used on slip joint adapter to prevent leaks).
Installing the Drain Clamp
Select a location for the drain hole based on the design of the
plumbing. Position the drain outlet saddle on the drain pipe.
Allow adequate space for drilling. Tighten the bolts evenly on
both sides. Avoid overtightening.
Using the opening in the drain outlet saddle as a guide, drill a
1/4” hole in the drain pipe. Clean debris from the saddle and
threads.
NOTE: Some states require the use of an air gap faucet. Check
your local plumbing code to assure compliance. Locate the
drain connection away from the garbage disposal to prevent
potential contamination and system fouling.
