Read Before
Proceeding
Unlike most of
our competitors,
we’ve upgraded
our installation kit to
include a premium
bSteel Union
Adapter, rather than
the traditional self-
piercing saddle joint.
If, for any reason,
you are unable
to complete the
installation using b,
we recommend
contacting us or
a plumber prior to
trying a self-piercing
saddle valve.
