TUBI NG

Mount the self tapping saddle valve on either a cold or a hot
water pipe. A side or top mount is best to avoid clogging

from pipe sediment. Connect 1/4" O.D. tubing to the saddle
valve. Copper tubing requires a brass compression nut and

brass sleeve. Plastic tubing requires a brass insert inside the
tubing, a plastic sleeve on the outside with a brass

compression nut.

NOTE: DO NOT USE PLASTIC TUBING ON HOT WATER
OR IN CONTACT WITH ANY HOT PLENUM SURFACE OR

DUCT. INSTALLATION OF THIS SADDLE VALVE MUST
MEET OR EXCEED LOCAL CODES AND ORDINANCES.
