Installation Steps (see pictures above):

1. Position saddle drop opposite the side of the pipe that needs the hole. Tighten securely and mark the pipe by the raised locating mark on the fitting.  Mark the pipe both horizontally and vertically along the fitting edge.
2. Drill thru one side of pipe with the drill bit, using the hole in the fitting as a locator.
3. Insert the saddle drop gasket into the molded cavity.
4. Position the saddle drop over the drilled hole with aligning marks, tighten securely.
5. Attach the necessary drop pipe or threaded adapter.

Saddle Drop Installation Tips:

• System must be depressurized before installing, wear eye protection
• The drop can be used in any position on the pipe
• Avoid putting the hole at the bottom of the pipe to prevent condensate or debris from entering the drop pipe
• To prevent chips from entering the pipe interior, stop drilling occasionally and blow out chips, grease the end of the drilling tool
• Allen wrench for tightening is 6mm size
