8. Clamp the self–piercer onto the riser tube. Fit
the adjustable aluminum bracket to the size of
your riser tube. Then tighten locking nut until
clamp is firmly attached to riser line.
CAUTION!! DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN!! This will
crush the riser tube and destroy it.
9. To pierce the line, simply screw the T–handle
valve clockwise until it stops.
NOTE: If hole in copper tube (cold water line) is
not adequately pierced, this may prevent
sufficient cold water supply to the system and
reduce the performance of reverse osmosis
processing. In this event, open and close the
self–piercing valve several times.
