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.

- Back the valve handle out to open.

Broke my copper pipe By Sam on 1/17/2016
Sam wouldn't recommend this product to a friendBrs is awesome and that's why I can't give a bad review for what may have been my fault. Anyway I pierced a 3/4 copper pipe and it caused a leak, which resulted in having to replaced a section of pipe. I wouldn't up just adding an a spicket to the pipe and used the garden hose adapter instead. -

Worked in the end By Timm on 2/17/2015
Timm would recommend this product to a friendI needed a quick solution to get up and running and this worked. The directions, at least in my opinion, were less than desirable. I used a youtube video to watch how it worked and was able to install. In the end I went through two of these because of user error, not product fault. -
Too Easy! By pbhonl on 7/15/2013
pbhonl would recommend this product to a friendEven though I had a quick-snap adapter on my laundry room faucet, I grew tired of having to unhook it when I wanted to use the laundry room sink.
I was skeptical that I would get enough pressure using a saddle valve.
Installing it was easy; didn’t see a drop of water leak and I get the same pressure as when it was connected to the faucet. -

Perfect! By The Reef Spot on 3/2/2013
The Reef Spot would recommend this product to a friendBought this to replace the laundry tub adapter. Now I can keep my water reservoirs topped off, and still use my sink. No more unscrewing an adapter every time i just want to rinse something off! -

Better than hooking up to faucet By Leland on 10/10/2011
Leland would recommend this product to a friendI used this to locate my RO/DI unit closer to my resivour in my basement. Copperpipe is right over head,so it made locating the unit easy, and I dont have to attach it to my sink faucet anymore. -
Will Work On Input Or Output By cm11599ps on 11/16/2010
cm11599ps would recommend this product to a friendI have my RO unit installed in my boiler room so there's no drain in there. I ended up running a piece of 1" PVC from my boiler room out into my yard into a well I dug for my gutter downspouts. I then attached this saddle valve to the 1" PVC to run the RO waste into that well. Works like a charm.
Being that my PVC is thicker then the copper tubing this is really meant for I had some extra steps. I attached the saddle valve to my PVC and pierced the PVC. I then completely removed the saddle valve and used a screw to help make the hole a little bit bigger. I then took the screw out and reattached the saddle valve, hooked the RO to it and called it a day. Works great.
The valve is really meant as an input for connecting your RO unit to your water supply line but I figured it it can handle the 60psi of a typical house then it could handle whatever pressure my waste water was which I"m sure isn't too much at all. -
great performance and quality!! By Melad 360 on 11/4/2010
Melad 360 would recommend this product to a friendi got this to attach my RO system to the copper piping in our house because the humidifier line didnt have enough pressure to make the system work properly. i shut off the water, attached the valve, and BINGO! not a single drop of water was spilled during, or after attachment. the unit is built with high quality components, and is very easy to use. just screw to tighten it onto the piping, screw the needle, unscrew, and done. i would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to attach their RO system to copper pipes without expensive Tees, valves, diverters, etc that you would have to get instead.Pr
