SV-9, Brass Saddle Valve, 1/4", Lead Free, CSV-6-LF

SV-9 Brass Saddle Valve 1/4" – Secure and Lead-Free Water Connection for Residential RO Systems

When it comes to installing or maintaining your residential reverse osmosis (RO) system, having a reliable brass saddle valve that ensures a leak-free and safe water connection is essential. The SV-9 Brass Saddle Valve, lead-free and designed for 1/4" tubing, offers an efficient and durable solution that minimizes installation hassle while protecting your water quality. This valve is tailored to meet the demands of residential RO components, ensuring a secure fit and long-lasting performance.

Key Benefits

• Provides a reliable, leak-resistant connection for your RO system tubing.
• Lead-free brass construction enhances water safety and system longevity.
• Compact saddle design simplifies installation on existing water lines without major plumbing modifications.
• Corrosion-resistant materials ensure durability in residential water treatment environments.
• Compatible specifically with 1/4" tubing, ideal for precise flow control in RO setups.
• Helps maintain consistent water pressure for optimal RO system performance.

How It Works

The SV-9 Brass Saddle Valve clamps securely onto your home's existing water supply line, creating a controlled outlet for your reverse osmosis system. By piercing the pipe with a sharp valve needle, it enables water flow into the 1/4" tubing without cutting or disconnecting the main line. This design allows for easy integration into residential RO components, providing a steady and safe water source while preventing leaks or pressure drops.

Once installed, the valve can be opened or closed to regulate water flow, making it an essential control point that supports the efficient operation of your water softener or filtration system.

What to Expect

Immediately after installation, you’ll notice a secure, drip-free connection that integrates seamlessly with your RO system. In the first days and weeks, the valve maintains steady water flow and pressure, contributing to the overall system efficiency without requiring frequent adjustments.

Over time, the lead-free brass construction resists corrosion and wear, reducing maintenance needs and extending the life of your water treatment setup. Routine inspection is recommended to ensure ongoing optimal performance, but the valve’s durable design minimizes the risk of leaks or failures.

What’s Inside

• Lead-Free Brass Body – Ensures safe contact with potable water and resists corrosion.
• Sharp Piercing Needle – Creates a precise outlet in the main water line without cutting it.
• Rubber Gasket – Provides a watertight seal around the saddle to prevent leaks.
• Mounting Saddle Clamp – Secures the valve firmly to the pipe for stable, vibration-resistant installation.
• 1/4" Compression Outlet – Compatible with standard RO tubing for easy connection.

How to Use

1. Identify the cold water supply line where you want to install the saddle valve.
2. Clean the surface of the pipe to ensure a good seal and position the valve saddle around it.
3. Tighten the mounting screws evenly to clamp the saddle securely in place.
4. Turn the valve handle clockwise to pierce the pipe and create the water outlet.
5. Attach your 1/4" RO tubing to the compression outlet and tighten fittings securely.
6. Slowly open the valve to allow water flow, checking for leaks around the saddle and tubing connections.
7. Adjust valve position as necessary to regulate flow or shut off water supply during maintenance.

FAQ & Safety

Is this valve compatible with all types of water pipes?
The SV-9 is designed for standard copper or plastic water lines commonly found in residential setups, but it’s best to verify pipe material and size before installation.

How often should I check or maintain the valve?
Periodic inspection every 6 to 12 months is recommended to ensure no leaks or corrosion develop over time.

Can I use this valve with hot water lines?
This valve is intended primarily for cold water supply lines; using it on hot water lines is not recommended due to temperature limits.

Does the piercing process damage the main water line?
The valve needle creates a small, controlled hole that does not compromise the pipe’s integrity when installed correctly.
