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, Watts
Premier offers drain line installation kit (part number 164020) that can be used
with garbage disposals.
Step 11
Gather the pieces of the drain saddle:
1 Black compression nut
2 Screws
2 Nuts for screws
The small square black foam gasket with a circle cut out of the middle
Step 12
must be applied to the inside of the drain saddle. Remove sticky tape
backing and stick to the drain saddle as shown.
The drain saddle must be mounted at least 1 ½" above the nut of the
Step 13
P-trap or cross bar from the garbage disposal to insure proper drainage.
Assemble the drain saddle around the drain pipe at the best available
location. Using Phillips screw driver tighten screws evenly and securely
on both sides of the drain saddle. Keep the plastic compression nut off
at this time.
Caution: Do not over tighten the screws. It may crack the drain saddle.
Drill hole and Connect 3/8" Black Tube from Faucet to the Drain Saddle
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.
Step 14
With the drain saddle secured onto the drain pipe, using a 1/4"
drill bit installed in your electric drill, insert the drill bit through the
opening in the drain saddle and drill into the drain pipe.
Caution: It is very important to keep the drill centered to prevent
damage of the drain saddle while drilling.
Measure the 3/8" black tube from faucet to the drain saddle on the
Step 15
drain pipe and make a straight cut to the correct length.
Step 16
Slip black tube through black compression nut. Insert black tube
into the opening in the drain saddle and hand tighten the black nut,
and add 1/4 turn with a wrench.
