INSTALLATION OF OPTIONAL FITTINGS (not included)
SADDLE VALVE, not available from EcoWater
NOTE:
This type of valve pierces a hole in copper tub-
ing or plastic pipe. If installing on iron pipe, you have to
drill a 1/8" pilot hole for the piercing pin. Be sure to turn
off water to the pipe and to drain water from it before
drilling. READ THE FOLLOWING DANGER NOTE.
DANGER (IF DRILLING METAL PIPE):
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.
1.
Looking at Figure 21, turn the valve into clamp X
and tighten (may be preassembled). Turn the valve han-
dle all the way out.
2.
Place the seal on the inside of clamp X as shown. Be
sure the piercing pin does not stick out beyond the seal.
3.
Place clamp X and Z around the pipe and secure in
place with two screws. Tighten both screws evenly, but
do not overtighten. Clamp Z will either have threaded
screw holes, or two nuts are included.
4.
Carefully turn the handle inward to pierce a hole in
the copper or plastic pipe.
DRAIN ADAPTER, part no. 7192230
¢
The optional drain adapter installs in the sink drain
pipe, always above or ahead of the p-trap. Be sure to
comply with your local plumbing codes. Other drain pipe
fittings, in addition to the adapter, may be needed.
¢
The drain adapter fits 1-1/2" sink drain pipe.
¢
The adapter installs directly onto the sink tailpiece as
typically shown in Figure 21.
¢
Locate so drain tubing from the faucet makes a
straight run to the adapter, without dips, loops, low spots
or kinks.
NOTE:
Consult a plumber if you are not familiar with
plumbing procedures.
1.
Use a ferrule and nut to assemble the drain tubing
connector to the drain adapter. Turn the connector to
about 45° from the 12:00 position, as shown (to 10:00 or
2:00 position as needed). Tighten the nut securely.
2.
Carefully disassemble the sink drain pipe and clean
the tailpiece to assure a leak-tight fit.
3.
Install the drain adapter onto the sink tailpiece, using
a ferrule and nut. Snug the nut, but do not tighten.
4.
Assemble the p-trap to the drain adapter, and other
drain pipe fittings as required (check codes) to complete
the drain run.
5.
Tighten all connections, but do not overtighten and
break plastic fittings.
NOTE:
Codes in the state of Massachusetts require
installation by a licensed plumber, and do not permit the
use of a saddle valve. For installation, use plumbing code
248-CMR of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
