here's a link (with picture) to that saddle tee for your drain.

Sorry, I know I am asking a million question but I have no idea about this stuff. Actually the concept of its fine but finding the right fittings has been impossible so far... |

There is a little tiny white piece that came with that clamp but I don't see how that would help. Must be needed though. As well it has a little piece of foam I think... |
Same way the piercing valve works. The white foam is a gasket that goes between the pipe and the clamp (like the black rubber in the picture). The ro tube doesn't need to go all the way into the hole in the drain, just seat it in the connector, but obviously the holes need to line up.

Ok, thanks...
SO I used a brass "T" from that shut off valve that was already there that Tees up to the faucet and also to the RO unit...It says its a compression fitting and the guy at HD said all I need to do is insert the tubing and then tighten the nut. I have done that but it leaks. Am I missing something? Was there suppose to be a washer or something? Or have I probably just not tightened it enough? I also realized that having this hooked up to the coldwater line means I am using very cold water. I though to make RO water it was suppose to be around 70-75 degrees? Am I wrong? |
BTW thanks for all your help guys!

This is where I am at. The "T" leaks at the top where is connects to the grey tubing. Any ideas why? I can't seem to tighten it anymore. Is there something I am missing?
EDIT: Looks like it should be tighter though doesn't it? Should the nut be all the way to the bottom? http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r...h/Newer225.jpg |
not exactly sure what you're meaning with the tees, but the connector should come with a plastic or brass ferrel that goes over the tube and some times an insert for inside.

is the ferrel up on the tube a bit, shouldn't need to bottom out the nut.
As for the temp, warm water is ideal, but hook the unit to the hot and blow the membrane, to cold with decreased flow or come up with some sort of mixing valve to blend the hot and cold for that just right temp. |
