Self Piercing Saddle Valve Installation Instructions

• Choose a location as close to the RO unit as possible.
• Make sure the water supply is OFF.
• Back up the piercing pin all the way by turning the handle counterclockwise. It should be retracted slightly past the rubber gasket.
• Position the valve over the pipe and turn the loose clamp piece appropriately to fit the shape of your pipe.
• Firmly snug the valve to the pipe by turning the screw/bolt. This should be done by hand to avoid over tightening.
• Slide compression nut on RO tube.
• Slide on compression sleeve. Note that the sleeve is narrower on one end. Narrow end should be away from valve.
• Insert brass insert into tubing end.
• Tighten compression nut to valve to attach tubing. Do not over tighten.
• Slowly turn valve handle clockwise to pierce pipe. Turn it all the way. This is the "OFF" position.
• Back the valve handle out to open.
• Turn on water supply and check for leaks.
