requirements

Important: If local codes do Not permit the use
of saddle valves, special feed valves can be
obtained from your local plumbing supply
distributor.

If local codes permit, the hot water dispenser feed
line should be connected to the cold water supply

line using a saddle tapping valve. The saddle
tapping valve supplied is designed for use with
3/8” to l-318” outer dimension (O.D.), soft copper
supply tubing (plain or chrome plated) and rigid

metal pipe. Do Not use saddle valve with
flexible ribbed supply tubing. Flexible ribbed
supply tubing has a thin wall thickness and

requires special connection hardware, available
from your local plumbing supply distributor.

NOTE:

Connection to hot water line is not
recommended. Energy will be wasted in
heating the water twice and the
magnesium rod used in household heating
may produce a “rotten egg” taste.

If this unit is replacing a hot water
dispenser connected to a hot water
supply, the existing connection may be
used.
