Drain Saddle Installation -
Fits standard 1¼" – 1½" drain pipes
Follow all local plumbing codes for your installation.
Caution: If you have a garbage disposal, do not install the drain
saddle near it. Installation of the drain saddle must be either
above the garbage disposal, or if a second sink drain is avail-
able, install it above the cross bar on the second drain. Installa-
tion of the drain saddle near a garbage disposal may cause the
drain line to plug.
Step A – Locate the drain saddle kit in the parts bag.
Gather the pieces of the drain saddle
( 1 ) - Black compression nut
( 1 ) - Semicircle bracket with opening
( 2 ) - Screws
( 1 ) - Foam gasket
( 2 ) - Nuts for screws
( 1 ) - Semicircle bracket
Step B – The small square black foam gasket with a circle 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 as shown.
Step C – The drain saddle must be installed
at least 1 ½" above the nut of the
P-Trap elbow or cross bar from the
garbage disposal to insure proper
drainage. Using the 1/4" drill bit,
drill into the drain pipe at best avail-
able location as specified above,
for drain saddle installation. Take
extreme caution to only drill through
one side of the drain pipe.
Step D – Assemble the drain saddle around the drain pipe and align
drain saddle fitting opening with the hole drilled in the
previous step - you may use a small screwdriver to feed
through the drain saddle into the drain pipe to aid with the
alignment. Using a Phillips screw driver tighten the drain
saddle bolts evenly and securely on both sides.
Caution: Do not over tighten the screws. It may crack the drain
saddle.
Drain Saddle Tube Connection
The black 3/8" drain tube must be as SHORT and STRAIGHT as
possible to the drain saddle, making a downward slope from faucet
to drain saddle to allow for proper drainage. This is a gravity fed line
and if there is any bend or dip in the tube, the rinse water will not
flow into the drain properly. Water may back up and come out the air
gap hole in the back of the faucet.
Step A – Measure the 3/8" drain tube from faucet to the drain saddle
on the drain pipe and make a straight cut to the correct
length.
Step B – Slip drain tube through black
compression nut. Insert drain
tube into the opening in the
drain saddle and hand tighten
the black nut, and add 1/4 turn
with a wrench.
