C.5 Drain Saddle Assembly Installation
The RO system comes supplied with a drain saddle and mounting hardware
which fits around a standard 1½” O.D. drain pipe.
5.1 The drain saddle should be installed above the trap, on the vertical or
horizontal tailpiece. It should never be placed close to the outlet of a
garbage disposal.
5.2 Drill a 5/16” hole in the drain pipe in the location where the drain saddle
will be positioned. Support the drain against drilling pressure. Do not drill
through both sides of the drain pipe. If possible, place the hole so the drain
saddle fitting will angle toward the faucet location.
5.3 Position the drain saddle so that the drain fitting is over the hole in the drain
pipe.
5.4 Tighten the drain saddle screws evenly and firmly so a good seal is made.
Avoid over tightening.
Note: Some state or local codes may require that the drain saddle be served
by a trap other than the one serving the garbage disposal. Before making a
connection, please check your code regulations.
