SADDLE VALVE INSTALLATION
SAFETY EQUIPMENT REQUIRED TO PERFORM TASK
Check with the local public works department for plumbing codes. Follow all local plumbing codes when installing components
of this system.
The system comes supplied with a saddle valve and mounting hardware and is intended to be used on 3/8 inch to 1/2 inch copper
tubing, and should be connected to the cold water line only. NOTE: This valve is not to be used on flex lines.
1. Shut off the cold-water supply valve under the sink or
main valve for the house.
2. Locate saddle valve in an accessible area. Slide the
clamp over the copper tubing and tighten the bottom
screw firmly to hold the clamp in position.
3. Pierce the copper tubing by turning the “T” handle
clockwise, until it is firmly seated. The valve is
CLOSED in this position.
4. Open the cold-water supply valve or main valve, check
for any signs of leaks around valve connection.
5. Install John Guest
TM
Tubing Connector on to the outlet
of the saddle valve. Insert 1/4 inch OD tubing into the
end of tubing connector see “Tubing Installation”.
CAUTION: DO NOT OPEN saddle valve until system
is completely installed, doing so, at this time, will allow
water to flow from the valve.
FAUCET INSTALLATION
SAFETY EQUIPMENT REQUIRED TO PERFORM TASK
Most sinks have an extra hole to mount additional faucets, sprayers or soap dispensers. If the sink does not have an additional
hole, or it is being used by another attachment, a hole must be drilled in either the sink or countertop. The faucet stem requires a
1/2 inch diameter clearance hole for mounting; the chrome base plate will cover up a 1-1/2 inch diameter hole.
