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 .
