Step 3 - Drain Saddle Installation
Notice:
Some states require the use of an air gap faucet. Check your local plumbing code to
assure compliance.
For this step you will need:
o
Masking tape or duct tape
o
Variable speed drill w/
⅛
” and ¼" drill bits
o
Phillips
Screwdriver
o
Drain saddle assembly supplied with system
o
White tubing cut to appropriate length
Select Location for Drain Saddle Installation
Select a location for the drain hole based on the design of the
plumbing. It should be installed above the trap and on the
vertical or horizontal tail piece.
Notice:
Do not install downstream of a garbage
disposal, as this can cause
contamination and system fouling.
Install onto a drain location without a
garbage disposal.
Drill a ¼” Hole in the Drain Pipe
Starting with the
⅛
” drill bit, drill a
⅛
” hole in the drain pipe.
Use the ¼” drill bit to enlarge the hole. Clean the debris from
the pipe and the hole before continuing.
Notice:
Take extreme caution to not drill through to the other side of the drain pipe.
Install the Drain Clamp
Apply the foam gasket inside the front half of the drain saddle: Punch out
the cut-out hole in the center of the pad, remove the adhesive backing, and
adhere to the inside of the drain saddle, ensuring the holes are aligned.
Place one half of the plastic drain saddle assembly on each side of the
drain pipe with the fitting, and clamp loosely using the nuts and bolts
included.
Align the hole drilled in the drain pipe with the hole in the drain saddle. A
drill bit or other long narrow object may be used to help align correctly.
Use Phillips screwdriver to tighten the clamp. Avoid over-tightening.
Connect Drain Line to RO System Reject Line
Insert tubing to the pipe stop in the quick connect fitting on the drain line and
check the seal.
Connect the other end of the tubing to the flow restrictor outlet coming from the
membrane brine port.
