OVERTIGHTEN.

differently in order to match either the 1/2″ or 3/8″ plumbing in your location.

*For 1/2″ OD or larger metal tubing only.

NOTE: Codes in the state of Massachusetts require installation by a licensed plumber and do not permit the use of the saddle valve. For installation, use plumbing code 248-CMR of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
