Electrical Shock Hazard
Special care must be taken when drilling into water pipes. Some water may remain in pipe.
-If an electric drill is used, it must be properly grounded to prevent severe or lethal shock if water should enter drill. Use only an electric drill with a
l Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether your electric drill is properly grounded.
-Only drill at top or side of horizontal drain
pipe. DO NOT drill at bottom of horizontal pipe where water may remain.
Failure to follow these instructions could result ir personal iniurv or death.
4a Make sure sink faucet is turned off and allow
. all water to drain from tailpiece. The drain saddle valve must be installed above (before) the trap. It should be mounted with the opening on the top of horizontal drain pipe to avoid drain gurgling noise. If this is not possible, it can be installed on a vertical section of the drain pipe before the trap. For basement installations, route drain line through an air gap to laundry sink, floor drain or stand pipe.
4b Inspect the condition of the sink drain pipe.
. Replace any trap or tailpiece that is in poor condition. Water from the RO system drain line must flow into a suitable drain. The black tubing from the faucet must flow downward to the drain.
Property/Product Damage DO NOT install drain saddle assembly to:
-a tailpiece used as a garbage disposal outlet.
-the bottom of a horizontal section of tailpiece.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in plugging of filtration system drain line.
4c The drain saddle assembly is designed to fit a
. standard 1l/z” O.D. tailpiece. Smaller or larger tailpiece piping will require
a special drain saddle assembly available
from your local @. plumbing supply dis- tributor. Position both halves of the drain sad
on the tailpiece. Insert bolts
in drain saddle and tighten evenly and
firmly. Check that both halves of drain saddle are parallel and equally spaced.
4d You will need a
n grounded electric drill or hand drill and a l/4” drill bit rill a hole in the drain pipe.
nsert drill bit into opening of drain saddle. Operate drill slowly to drill through one side of drain pipe.
4e Thread elbow into drain saddle. Tighten elbow
. as far as it will go.
Product Damage
The black tubing from the faucet must slope downward without loops or low spots to the drain saddle.
Failure to follow this instruction could result in excessive drain noise.
L
4f Run black tubing to drain saddle. Check
. that tubing slopes continuously downward from faucet without loops or low spots. Cut black tubing to shortest length possible, make sure end of tubing is clean and blunt and tubing is round. Push black tubing into
tubi
