Instructions At A Glance l For detailed instructions see following page.
1. Turn off cold water supply.
(St; la-lb)
Electrical Shock Hazard
Special care must be taken when drilling into water pipes. Some water may remain in water supply pipe:
l
If an electric drill is used, it must be properly grounded to prevent severe or lethal shock if
water should enter drill.
l
Use only an electric drill that is double insulated or properly grounded.
l
Check with qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether your electric drill is properly grounded.
l
Only drill at top or side of horizontal water supply pipe. DO NOT drill at bottom of horizontal pipe where water may remain.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in personal injury or death.

Product Damage DO NOT connect to a hot water supply line. Failure to follow this instruction could result in
product damage.
la
Take note of water requirements listed under
. the Use & Care section of this booklet. The filtration system’s feed line (orange tubing) connects to your cold water supply line using the saddle valve.
Do not use saddle valve if it is prohibited by your state or local plumbing codes.
The saddle valve is for use with 3/s” to s/B” outer diameter (O.D.), soft copper pipe (plain or chrome plated) or rigid metal or plastic pipe. Important: DO NOT use the saddle valve on flexible ribbed tubing. The wall thickness of flexible ribbed tubing is thin and will not support the saddle valve supplied.
If your cold water supply is connected to the cold water faucet with flexible ribbed tubing, contact your local plumbing supply distributor to obtain special connecting hardware.
Important: If local codes do not permit the use of saddle valves, special feed valves can be obtained from your local plumbing supply distribu­tor. Use only W’ polyethylene tubing for water line connection.- - - -
Property/Product Damage
l
DO NOT install tubing in an area where
temperatures drop below 32°F.
l
DO NOT overtighten saddle valve to copper pipe. This will crush pipe.
l
Keep a bucket or towel under area where saddle valve connection is made.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in water damage to property or product damage.

Turn off cold water
SUDDIV.
Turn on cold
. water faucet and allow all water to drain from line. Turn off faucet. Determine if your cold water sup­ply line is soft copper pipe or rigid metal or plastic pipe. If your cold water supply line is soft copper pipe, pro­ceed to step 1 c. If your cold water supply line is rigid metal or plastic pipe, skip ahead to step 1 h.
Ic
Connect saddle valve to cold water supply
. soft copper pipe. Check that saddle valve piercing lance does not protrude beyond rubber gas­ket. If it is protruding, carefully push it in flush with the rubber gasket, using a hard object like the end of a screwdriver handle.

Id
Assemble saddle valve on copper pipe.
. Saddle valve must be on top side of horizontal pipe or side of vertical pipe to keep sediment from collecting in its valve.
If you are connecting the saddle valve to 3/e” O.D. copper pipe, assemble bracket with small “U” side against copper pipe to prevent distortion of pipe. If you are connecting the saddle valve to
%6”
to W O.D. pipe, assemble bracket with large “U” side against copper pipe.

Tighten bottom screw firmly. DO NOT

Have a towel ready in case of leakage. Turn
. saddle valve handle clockwise until the lance
pierces soft copper pipe and then stops. Do not
continue to turn the saddle valve handle after it
has stopped because you may pierce through the opposite side of pipe. The saddle valve is now in
the closed position.
Ig
Turn on cold water supply to check for
. leaks. In case of leaks, use an adjustable wrench to tighten nut below valve’s handle. Turn cold water back off and proceed to step 1 k.

area wnere it will be mounted - either
under sink or in the basement. For best results, locate filtra­tion assembly so tubing can be cut to shortest length possi-
ble. To connect one end of orange tubing to the saddle valve, place the brass compression nut on the orange tubing (threaded side out) place the plastic sleeve onto the tubing (discard brass sleeve), push the insert into the
tubing and thread this assembly onto the opening of the saddle valve. Tighten brass compression nut with %” wrench Use a plastic tubing cutter or sharp razor knife to cut tubing to shortest possible length. Make sure cut end is clean and blunt and tubing is round. Push free end of orange tubing as far as it will go into the grey push-in fitting on the front right side of the filtration assembly.
