TO INSTALL THE "SADDLE TAPPING VALVE" ON COPPER TUBE
CAUTION: Do not turn handle before or while installing the saddle valve. Also confirm the piercing lance
does not protrude beyond the rubber gasket.
1. Locate the cold water shut off valve on the cold water line under your sink.
2. Assemble the saddle valve on copper tube.
A-For 3/8" O.D. tubing use "Pat. Pend." Bracket with side projections to prevent distortion of the
tubing.
B-Use "V" side of bracket for all larger sizes of tubing.
3. Tighten screws evenly keeping the brackets parallel to one another.
4. Make the water connection to the outlet of the saddle valve. Should you fail to do this before piercing
the tube a small amount of water will escape from outlet until you are fully pierced.
5. Turn the handle clockwise until you feel it is firmly seated.
NOTE: You have now pierced the copper tube and the valve is closed.
6. Turn the handle counterclockwise to open the valve.
7. Tun on cold water shut off valve to check installation for leaks. Allow water to run from sink faucet for
a few minutes to clear any debris in the line caused by installation.
