Drain Saddle Installation

Drain Saddle fits standard 1 ¼" – 1 ½" drain pipes
Caution:
If you have a garbage disposal, do not install the drain saddle near it.
Installation of the drain saddle must be either above the garbage disposal, or
if a second sink drain is available, install it above the cross bar on the second
drain. Installation of the drain saddle near a garbage disposal may cause
the drain line to plug. If no other installation of drain line is available, Premier
offers drain line installation kit (part number 164020) that can be used with
garbage disposals.

IMPORTANT:
The black 3/8" drain tube must be as SHORT and STRAIGHT as possible to the drain
saddle, making a downward slope from faucet to drain saddle to allow for proper
drainage. This is a gravity fed line and if there is any bend or dip in the tube, the rinse
water will not flow into the drain properly. Water may back up and come out the air
gap hole in the back of the faucet.
Measure the 3/8" black tube from faucet to the drain saddle on the
