Installing The Drain Saddle Valve - Aquathin PEARL 30 Getting Started

Turn off the cold water valve under the sink or the
main valve for the house. Slide clamp over the copper
tubing and tighten screw firmly to hold the clamp in
position. Pierce the copper tubing by turning the
needle valve handle clockwise until it is firmly seated.
The valve is closed in this position. Turn on the MAIN
supply valve to pressurize cold water line.
Immediately check for any signs of leaks. Set aside
compression fittings for later use in connecting feed
tubing to system.
When ready to supply water to the system, turn valve
handle counter-clockwise until fully open. In some
instances the self-piercing valve provided will not be
compatible with your plumbing. We have provided a
feed valve that will satisfy most scenarios. Alternate
parts using standard ¼" compression fittings can be
found at a plumbing supply or at home improvement
stores. On rare occasions, it may be necessary to
contact a plumbing contractor to complete your
installation.
