Drain Saddle fi ts standard 1 ¼” – 1 ½” drain pipes
Drain Saddle Installation
Thread the plastic elbow (supplied in the parts bag) onto the
stainless steel connection on the top of tank. Tighten using an
adjustable wrench. Do not over tighten as plastic could crack.
Step 18
Wrap (7 to 12 turns) Tefl on tape clockwise around the male pipe
threads (MPT) on the Stainless Steel fi tting on top of the tank.
Drill a ¼” hole through the drain pipe at least 1 ½” above the nut of the
P-trap to allow for the removal of the P-trap. Assemble the drain
saddle around the drain pipe. Position the drain saddle over the drilled
hole in pipe. Insert screw driver into the opening of the drain saddle
and align with drilled hole in drain pipe. Using Phillips screw driver
tighten screws evenly and securely on both sides of the drain saddle.
Over tightening the screws may break drain saddle. Caution: Hand
tighten compression nut. If necessary you can turn 1/4 turn with a
wrench. Attach black compression nut, but do not tighten at this time.
The black tubing will be installed later.
The black square foam gasket with a hole cut out of the middle
must be applied to the inside of the drain saddle. Remove sticky
tape backing and stick to the drain saddle matching holes as
shown. Be sure to remove the hole cut out. (Fig. B)
