Note: Tubing lengths should allow for the
removal of the assembly from the hanger wash-
ers for servicing. If tubing lengths are shortened
for neater appearance, it may be necessary to
keep the assembly on the hanger washers for
service.
NOTE: Codes in the state of Massachusetts
require installation by a licensed plumber and
do not permit the use of saddle valves.
If you live in the state of Massachusetts, review
plumbing code 248-CMR of the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts before proceeding with the
