Feed Water Supply

standard plumbing fittings, see first two illustrations below. A typical
installation for existing homes using the saddle valve is shown in third
illustration below.

Typical location
B. OPTIONAL HOME INSTALLATION Where codes permit
*For 1/2" OD or larger metal tubing only.
NOTE: Codes in the state of Massachusetts require installation by a licensed
plumber and do not permit the use of the saddle valve. For installation,
use plumbing code 248-CMR of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
1 Turn off the cold water supply and attach saddle valve as shown in
illustration at right.
DANGER: To protect yourself from serious injury or fatal shock, use
a battery-powered hand drill only to make the hole. DO NOT USE AN
ELECTRIC DRILL.
2 Close the water supply valve by turning the handle clockwise.
Open the main water supply valve and several house faucets to purge
3
air from the system. Close faucets when water runs smoothly.
