Drain Saddle Installation -
Fits standard 1 ¼” – 1 ½” drain pipes
Step 8
Step 9
Step 10
The drain saddle must be installed at least 1 ½” above the nut of the
P-Trap elbow or cross bar from the garbage disposal to insure proper
drainage.
Using the 1/4” drill bit, drill into the drain pipe at best available
location as specified above, for drain saddle installation.
Take extreme
caution to only drill through one side of the drain pipe.
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. (See Picture to Right)
Locate the correct drain saddle kit in the parts bag.
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:

Step 7
Determine if a 1/4” tube connection or 3/8” tube connection drain saddle
should be installed. For air-gap RO faucets (3 tubes) use larger 3/8” tube
connection drain saddle. For non air-gap RO faucets (1 tube) use 1/4”
tube connection drain saddle.
Assemble the drain saddle around the drain pipe and
align drain saddle
fitting opening with the hole drilled in the previous step
- you may
use a small screwdriver to feed through the drain saddle into the drain
pipe to aid with the alignment. Using a Phillips screw driver tighten the
drain saddle bolts evenly and securely on both sides.
Step 11
1.5”
Caution: Do not over tighten the screws. It may crack the drain saddle.
Follow all local plumbing codes for your installation.

Push the 1/4” red drain tube open end through the black
compression nut included in the drain saddle kit. Insert the drain
tube into the opening in the drain saddle, hand tighten the black
nut and add 1/4 turn with a wrench. Continue to step 14 on the
