- HOW TO INSTALL YOUR HOME DRINKING WATER SYSTEM -
STEP 1 -- INSTALL THE COLD WATER SUPPLY SADDLE VALVE (FIG. 2)
• Install this valve on the COLD water pipe to the
kitchen sink (FIG. 2).
• This valve has a cutting pin and will make its own
hole in copper or plastic pipe. To install on iron pipe,
you have to drill a 1/8" diameter hole for the cut-
ting pin.
DANGER (IF DRILLING PIPE): TO PROTECT
YOURSELF FROM SERIOUS INJURY OR FATAL
SHOCK, USE A HAND OR BATTERY POWERED
DRILL ONLY TO MAKE THE HOLE. DO NOT USE
AN ELECTRIC DRILL.
• USE THE FOLLOWING GUIDES TO INSTALL:
1. Close the house main water supply valve. Open
a high and low faucet in the house to drain water
from the pipes.
2. Looking at FIG. 2, if not already done, turn the
valve into clamp A and tighten. Turn the valve han-
dle all the way out.
NOTE: If you have to drill a 1/8" diameter hole, hold
the valve with clamp A up to the pipe and mark the
spot to drill. BEFORE DRILLING, READ THE
DANGER NOTE ABOVE.
3. Place the seal on the inside of clamp A as shown.
Locate clamp A (turn handle in to align pin if pre-
drilled hole) and clamp B on the pipe. Fasten in
place using 2 screws. Tighten each screw evenly,
