Water Leaks
Your system has been tested before leaving the factory. In the unlikely event of a fault, small leaks
sometimes do occur as a result of incorrect assembly or abuse.The following tips may be helpful:
•

• Leaks can occur if cartridge is not installed properly. Cartridge must be installed according to the
directional arrow on the cartridge which indicates “This End Towards Cap”.
• Always ensure that sump top is snapped into sump by being pushed in.
• Always ensure that the sump ring is screwed fully onto the sump top. This is essential both for the
• In the event of a leak, carefully examine its source. Water from a leak may run along the pipe work. (It
may drip or collect some distance from the actual location of the leak.)

water line. (Adhere to the instructions given on page 3.)

To eliminate possible water and property damage, use the following preventative steps and devices:
1. A licensed plumber should install this unit, reading and following the Installation and Operation Guide
as well as all notices.
2.
3. Keep the water supply line from extreme heat or freezing.Temperature at unit location should be
maintained between 35° F and 120° F.

not put or keep unit in service.
STEP 2 – Install the Saddle (Feedwater) Valve and Tubing (Fig 2)
CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION
• Choose a location for the valve that is easily accessible. It is best to connect into the side of a vertical water pipe. When it is necessary to connect into a horizontal water
• Disconnect the cold water supply line. Attach and tighten the saddle valve connector assembly, being careful not to pinch or crimp any tubing or water supply line while
NOTE: The saddle valve clamps onto hard tubing or pipe. It will make its own hole in copper tubing but not in iron or brass.
For brass or galvanized iron pipe, drill a 1/4” hole in pipe before mounting saddle valve. If possible, use a hand or cordless drill
when drilling water pipe. If using an electric drill, be sure that drill, cord and outlet are all properly grounded.
NOTE: If water supply line is soft tubing, it is recommended to use aT-valve installation.
NOTE: Do not turn handle before installing or while installing saddle valve.To prevent damage to piercing needle,make sure
NOTE:
1. Hold backplate against tube.
2. Hold saddle valve against tubing in a position directly opposite backplate.
3. Tighten screw enough so saddle valve and backplate are held securely against tube.
CONNECT SOURCE WATER FEED TUBING TO VALVE BODY USING COMPRESSION FITTING
1. Slide nut and sleeve onto tubing (in that order).
2. Install insert into tubing.
3. Install tubing with insert and sleeve into valve body.
4. Thread compression nut onto valve body. Tighten.
CAUTION: When the supply line is pierced, the valve should be closed. Do not open valve until system is activated. Turn on
cold water supply. Check saddle-tapping valve installation for leaks. Allow water to run from faucet for a few
minutes to clear any debris in the line caused by installation.

FITTINGS
• Fittings consist of three parts: a body, collet, and
a locking clip. Make sure outer surface of tube is
clear of marks or scratches for a length equal to
twice tube diameter. This allows O-ring to seat
properly against tube.
• Remove locking clip from body collet (A).
• Push tube through collet into body until it seats
clip around the collet. Not replacing the locking

• To reinsert a tube, cut 1/2” of tube from the end.
This will help prevent leaking. Replace the locking
clip around the collet.

Mounting the Faucet:
Disassemble hardware from the threaded
nipple, except for chrome base plates and
rubber washers. (Rubber washers may be
replaced with a bead of plumber's putty
for neater appearance.) Feed the threaded
nipple through sink or counter mounting
hole and position the faucet. From below

certain the cutter does not touch outer rim of the cut porcelain/enamel.
Continue with this bit to cut through metal until sink has been completely
penetrated.

STEP 1 – Install the Faucet (Fig 1)
Faucet should be placed near the sink where drinking/cooking water is normally required.
mount the faucet if an existing hole for a second faucet is not available. The mounting thickness should not exceed 1-1/4". If
the sink has a sprayer, it may be disconnected for faucet installation. A pipe cap or plug will be necessary to seal the sprayer
connection. If making the faucet mounting hole (if sprayer or second hole is not used), check to make sure the drill does
not exceeding 1-1/4" in thickness). Drill the required pilot hole of the chassis punch and tighten nut to cut the desired hole
size. Clean up sharp edges. The faucet should be positioned so it empties into the sink and the spout swivels freely for
convenience. If sink has a hole that can accommodate the faucet, no drilling is required. Proceed with mounting the faucet.
Preparing for Installation
