Connect by-pass pipe to collar and humidifier cabinet. Using
holes at top and bottom of side panel discharge, pierce 2
self tapping screws through by-pass pipe.
Mount the self tapping saddle valve on either a cold or a hot water
pipe. A side or top mount is best to avoid clogging from pipe
sediment. Connect 1/4” O.D. tubing to the saddle valve. Copper
tubing requires a brass compression nut and brass sleeve. Plastic
tubing requires a brass insert inside the tubing and a plastic sleeve
on the outside with a brass compression nut.
NOTE: DO NOT USE PLASTIC TUBING ON HOT WATER OR IN
CONTACT WITH ANY HOT PLENUM SURFACE OR DUCT.
INSTALLATION OF THIS SADDLE VALVE MUST MEET OR
EXCEED LOCAL CODES AND ORDINANCES.
