D. Mounting the Drain Saddle Valve
A Drain Saddle Valve is used to make a waste water connection with the
drain under the sink and is designed to fit around a standard 1 1/2-inch OD
drain pipe. The drain saddle valve should always be installed before (above)
the p-trap and on a vertical or horizontal drain. To avoid clogging the drain line
with debris, do not install the drain saddle near a garbage disposal.
1. Choose a spot on the drain pipe that is convenient for installing the drain
saddle. A horizontal pipe is recommended to minimize the dripping sound.
2. Drill a 1 /4” hole in the drain pipe, and paste the black sticky pad around the
hole.
3. Cut the BLACK tubing end to make a 45 degree angle. Insert the tubing into
the 1/4” hole in the drain pipe, install the back plate, and tighten the two
screws with hex nuts while the tubing remains in the hole.
4. Insert Lock Clip. Pull the tubing lightly to make sure it is secure.
