A typical saddle valve application is to provide water supply for a whole house humidifier, ice maker, water filtering / dispensing equipment, or anything else that uses a ¼" diameter supply line. The installation is so simple that in most cases, a professional plumbing contractor will not be necessary … unfortunately there are always some exceptions; hopefully, yours will not be the case.
Tools for the saddle valve installation on copper pipes:
- Straight and Philips blade screwdriver
- ½" or adjustable wrench
Additional tools for the saddle valve installation on plastic and galvanized pipes:
- Drill with a 1/8" – ¼" drill bit (some applications / manufacturers might require ¼" diameter hole to provide better water flow, i.e. for the ice maker).
