INSTALLING SADDLE VALVE CONNECTION
1) Locate the other end of the long tube and slip on the brass compres sion nut,
threaded toward the cut end of the tube.
2) Slip on the nylon ferrule, narrow end toward the cut end of the tube. The
nylon ferrule should be about 1⁄4 inch down the tube. Discard the brass
ferrule which is not needed for use with plastic tubing.
3) The tubing provided is thick-walled and food-grade quality and will provide
you with trouble-free service for many years. We recommend inserting the
brass tube insert into the tube to prevent possible collapse of the tube.
4) Locate the cold water supply line near the place you are installing your
distiller. Note: Be sure the length of food-grade tubing will reach from your supply
line to the distiller location before proceeding. If additional tubing is needed,
contact your authorized distributor.
5) Turn the wing on the saddle valve counter-clockwise to insure the lance is fully
retracted.
6) Position the saddle valve assembly to straddle the copper pipe of the supply line.
Tighten securely, making sure the rubber gasket is in place and slightly com-
pressed to form a good seal between the valve bracket and the
copper pipe.
7) Insert the cut end of the food-grade plastic tube into the saddle valve
opening and securely tighten the compression nut, turning clockwise.
Note: If you have used the brass tubing reinforcer, be certain it is secured in the
tube and does not slip into saddle valve assembly.
8) When all connections are secure, turn the wing on the saddle valve clockwise
as far as it will go. The saddle valve is now in the closed position. To begin the
flow of water to the distiller, turn the wing counter clockwise. Note: In areas
where saddle valves are not permitted by law, your distributor can provide the
appropriate installation fitting.
