Product Damage DO NOT connect to a hot water supply line. Failure to follow this instruction could result in product damage. Take note of water requirements listed under . the Use & Care section of this booklet. The filtration system�s feed line (orange tubing) connects to your cold water supply line using the saddle valve. Do not use saddle valve if it is prohibited by your state or local plumbing codes. The saddle valve is for use with 3/s� to s/B�outer diameter (O.D.), soft copper pipe (plain or chrome plated) or rigid metal or plastic pipe. Important: DO NOT use the saddle valve on flexible ribbed tubing. The wall thickness of flexible ribbed tubing is thin and will not support the saddle valve supplied. If your cold water supply is connected to the cold water faucet with flexible ribbed tubing, contact your local plumbing supply distributor to obtain special connecting hardware. Important: If local codes do not permit the use of saddle valves, special feed valves can be obtained from your local plumbing supply distributor. Use only W� polyethylene tubing for water line connection.--

Connect saddle valve to cold water supply . soft copper pipe. Check that saddle valve piercing lance does not protrude beyond rubber gasket. If it is protruding, carefully push it in flush with the rubber gasket, using a hard object like the end of a screwdriver handle.

Connect saddle valve to cold water supply . rigid metal or plastic pipe. Use a grounded electric drill or a hand drill to drill 3h6� hole in top side c of horizontal pipe or side of vertical pipe. This will keep sediment from �collecting in valve. Turn saddle valve handle clockwise to expose piercing lance a maximum of %6� beyond the rubber gasket. Align piercing lance over hole you drilled in pipe. Then assemble saddle valve on pipe with large �U� side against pipe. Tighten bottom screw firmly, . keeping bracket parallel to pipe Turn saddle valve handle clockwise until oiercina lance enters hole in pipe and then stops. The saddle valve is now in the closed position.

Assemble saddle valve on copper pipe. . Saddle valve must be on top side of horizontal pipe or side of vertical pipe to keep sediment from collecting in its valve. If you are connecting the saddle valve to 3/e� O.D. copper pipe, assemble bracket with small �U� side against copper pipe to prevent distortion of pipe. If you are connecting the saddle valve to %6� to W O.D. pipe, assemble bracket with large �U� side against copper pipe. Tighten bottom screw firmly. DO NOT . over-tighten; copper pipe could be crushed.

Have a towel ready in case of 11 . leaks. Turn on cold water supply to check for leaks. In case of leaks, use an adjustable wrench to tighten nut below valve�s handle. Turn cold water back off.

Property/Product Damage DO NOT install tubing in an area where temperatures drop below 32°F. DO NOT overtighten saddle valve to copper pipe. This will crush pipe. Keep a bucket or towel under area where saddle valve connection is made. Failure to follow these instructions may result in water damage to property or product damage.

Turn off cold water SUDDIV. Turn on cold . water faucet and allow all water to drain from line. Turn off faucet. Determine if your cold water supply line is soft copper pipe or rigid metal or plastic pipe. If your cold water supply line is soft copper pipe, proceed to step 1c. If your cold water supply line is rigid metal or plastic pipe, skip ahead to step 1h.

continue to turn the saddle valve handle after it has stopped because you may pierce through the opposite side of pipe. The saddle valve is now in the closed position. Turn on cold water supply to check for Ig . leaks. In case of leaks, use an adjustable wrench to tighten nut below valve�s handle. Turn cold water back off and proceed to step 1k.

end of orange tubing to the saddle valve, place the brass compression nut on the orange tubing (threaded side out) place the plastic sleeve onto the tubing (discard brass sleeve), push the insert into the tubing and thread this assembly onto the opening of the saddle valve. Tighten brass compression nut with %� wrench Use a plastic tubing cutter or sharp razor knife to cut tubing to shortest possible length. Make sure cut end is clean and blunt and tubing is round. Push free end of orange tubing as far as it will go into the grey push-in fitting on the front right side of 3:; the filtration assembly.
