INSTALLING SADDLE VALVE CONNECTION
1) Locate the other end of the long tube and slip on the brass compression
nut, threaded toward the cut end of the tube.
2) Slip on the nylon ferrule, narrow end toward the cut end of the tube.
The nylon ferrule should be about 1⁄4 inch down the tube. Discard the
brass ferrule which is not needed for use with plastic tubing.
3) The tubing provided is thick-walled and food-grade quality and will
provide you with trouble-free service for many years. We recommend
inserting the brass tube insert into the tube to prevent possible collapse
of the tube.
4) Locate the cold water supply line near the place you are installing your
distiller.
Note:
Be sure the length of food-grade tubing will reach from your
supply line to the distiller location before proceeding. If additional tubing is
needed, contact your authorized distributor.
5) Turn the wing on the saddle valve counter-clockwise to insure the lance is
fully retracted.
6) Position the saddle valve assembly to straddle the copper pipe of the supply
line. Tighten securely, making sure the rubber gasket is in place and slightly
compressed to form a good seal between the valve bracket and the
copper pipe.
7) Inser t the cut end of the food-grade plastic tube into the saddle valve
opening and securely tighten the compression nut, turning clockwise.
Note:
If you have used the brass tubing reinforcer, be certain it is secured in
the tube and does not slip into saddle valve assembly.
8) When all connections are secure, turn the wing on the saddle valve
clockwise as far as it will go. The saddle valve is now in the closed position.
To begin the flow of water to the distiller, turn the wing counter
clockwise.
Note:
In areas where saddle valves are not permitted by law,
your distributor can provide the appropriate installation fitting.
