WATER SUPPLY
1.Water for the humidifier must be taken from a nearby cold water line. Turn off the water supply. Drain by opening a faucet at a lower level of the line.
2.Position the saddle valve on the water line as close to the humidifier as possible. You have been supplied with 10 feet of 1/4" plastic tubing.
NOTE: When measuring the distance from the saddle valve location to the humidifier, keep in mind that the tubing must be supported; there- fore, it must run along the ceiling and walls.
Measure along the path that the tubing wiii follow.
3.Back out the piercing pin by turning the "T" handle counter clockwise and clamping the saddle valve body securely on the water line with a rubber gasket positioned as shown in Fig. 19. On galva- nized or copper pipe over 5/8", first drill a 5/32" diameter hole in the pipe.
WARNING: For safety, use a hand drill or grounded electric drill.
4.Turn the handle clockwise until it has pierced the water line and valve is completely closed (Fig. 19).
