Drain Saddle Installation -
Fits standard 1 ¼” – 1 ½” drain pipes
Step 13
Step 14
Step 15 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. Using Phillips screw driver tighten screws evenly and securely
on both sides of the drain saddle. Keep the plastic compression nut
off at this time.
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.
Caution: Do not over tighten the screws. It may crack the drain saddle.
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.
Caution:
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 16
Caution:
It is very important to keep the drill centered to prevent damage of the drain saddle while drilling.
Slip the 1/4” red tube from the RO module through the black compression nut included in the
drain saddle kit. Insert the red tube into the opening in the drain saddle and hand tighten the
black nut, and 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 17
* Non Air-Gap Faucet - Single Tube (1/4” Drain Saddle):
System Drain Connection
A/G Faucets with tubes pre-attached -
Locate the 1/4”X1/4” quick connect fitting in the parts
bag and connect one end to the red tube on the RO module . Measure the 1/4” drain tube
feed from the RO faucet to the 1/4”X1/4” fitting on the RO module and make a straight cut to
the correct length. Connect the 1/4” drain tube from the RO faucet to the 1/4”X1/4” fitting on
the RO module.
All A/G faucets
-
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 in the drain saddle and hand
tighten the black nut, add 1/4 turn with a wrench.
* Air-Gap Faucet - 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.
If your air-gap faucet has no tubes attached, connect the red tube from
the RO module directly to the 1/4 barb on the faucet. Locate the black
3/8” tube in the parts bag and attach one end to the 3/8” barb on the faucet.
