Step 10
The drain saddle must be mounted at least 1
½” above the nut of the P-trap or cross bar
from the garbage disposal to insure proper
drainage. Assemble the drain saddle around
the drain pipe at the best available location.
The small square black foam gasket with a
circle cut out of the middle must be applied to
the inside of the drain saddle. Remove sticky
tape backing and stick to the drain saddle as
shown.
Locate the drain saddle kit in the parts bag.
Do not over tighten the screws. It may crack the drain
saddle.
With the drain saddle secured
onto the drain pipe, using a 1/4”
drill bit installed in your electric
drill, insert the drill bit through
the opening in the drain saddle
and drill through the drain pipe.
Step 11
It is very important to keep the
drill centered to prevent dam-
age of the drain saddle while
drilling.
Locate the red 1/4” tube in the parts bag. The
permeate pump is mounted on the bottom side
of the system’s metal bracket. Remove the
blue plug from the permeate pump’s 1/4” quick
connect port. Connect one end of the red 1/4”
tube to the open 1/4” port on the permeate
pump.
Next, slip the open end of the red 1/4” tube
through the black compression nut included in
the drain saddle kit. Insert the red 1/4” tube
into the opening of the drain saddle, hand
tighten the black nut, then add 1/4 turn with a
wrench.
The 3/8” drain tube must be as SHORT and STRAIGHT
as possible from the RO faucet to the drain saddle,
making a downward slope from faucet to drain saddle
to allow for proper drainage. This is a gravity fed line
and if there is any bend or dip in the tube, the rinse
water will not flow into the drain properly. Water may
back up and come out the air gap hole in the back of
the faucet.
Step 12
* Non Air-Gap Faucet
(This system
doesn’t come with a faucet. The below notes
on the faucet installation are for reference only)
Single Tube (1/4” Drain Saddle):
System Drain Connection
The permeate pump is mounted on the bottom side of the
system’s
metal bracket. Remove the blue plug from the permeate
pump port.
Connect the open end of the red 1/4” tube attached to
the RO faucet to the open 1/4” quick connect port on the
permeate pump.
* Air-Gap Faucet
(This system doesn’t come with a
faucet. The below notes on the faucet installation are for
reference only)
Three Tubes (3/8” Drain Saddle):
If your RO faucet is non-air
gap (Single Tube) use 1/4”
Drain Saddle.
If your RO faucet is air gap
(Three tubes) use the 3/8”
Drain Saddle.
Measure the 3/8” drain tube from the RO faucet to the
drain saddle on the drain pipe and make a straight cut to
the correct length. Slip the 3/8” tube open end through
the black compression nut. Insert the 3/8” tube into the
opening of the drain saddle, hand tighten the black nut,
then add 1/4 turn with a wrench.
Feed Water Valve Installation Continued
If you have a garbage disposal, do not install the drain
saddle near it. Installation of the drain saddle must be
either above the garbage disposal, or if a second sink
drain is available, install it above the cross bar on the
second drain. Installation of the drain saddle near a
garbage disposal may cause the drain line to plug.
Using Phillips screw driver tight-
en screws evenly and securely
on both sides of the drain sad-
dle. Keep the plastic compres-
sion nut off at this time.
