DRAIN OUTLET ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION
NOTE:
State, provincial and local plumbing codes may prohibit use of saddle-tapping drain connections and may
require use of an air gap.
NOTE:
Location and orientation of drain outlet assembly is vital to system performance.
Horizontal Drain Line:
Locate drain hole as close as possible to top of pipe
(between 45º and top) and as far as practical from
garbage disposal.
Vertical Drain Line:
Locate drain hole on a straight length of drainpipe next to
"P"/"S" trap between trap and sink.

otherwise.
2. Position drain outlet saddle (Item 1) on drainpipe.
Allow adequate space for drilling operation.
3. Tighten saddle bolts evenly on both sides. Avoid
over-tightening.
4. Using opening in drain saddle outlet as a guide, drill a
3/8" to 7/16" diameter hole in drainpipe. Clean any
debris out of drain saddle connection.
