Gate Valve
Saddle Valve
4. Connect the Water
NOTE: Where plumbing codes permit, a saddle valve can be used
to supply water to the dispenser. An alternate connection can be
made by using a T-fitting and gate (or shut-off) valve. This is a more
complex connection, and should only be attempted by an
experienced installer.
NOTE: Saddle valves are susceptible to clogging.
NOTE: Attach this valve to the cold water line only.
For Saddle Valve Only. Use this simple connection on copper
tubing only. It is not necessary to pre-drill any holes. Follow the
instructions for the self-piercing attachment included with the
valve. Install the valve.
Place a container under the valve. Flush the valve of any
sediment by opening the valve and allowing a small amount of
water to run through it.
