Installation Guidance

This saddle valve is intended for use only on copper supply lines. Do not use with steel or plastic piping. Installation requires clamping the valve body to the pipe and turning the handle clockwise to pierce the tube. Use caution to avoid overtightening. This product is generally used in non-critical, low-pressure, and low-volume supply applications. For permanent or code-compliant installations, a dedicated valve and tee fitting is recommended.

Contractor Application

Suited for service scenarios requiring temporary or supplementary water feeds, the EZ-Flo 65801LF provides a quick solution where permanent re-piping is not feasible. It is not intended for high-pressure or high-volume flow conditions. For code-approved installations, verify local regulations regarding saddle valve use.
