Self-Piercing Feed Valve C Clamp Style with 1/4" Compression SVN6-14
Description
This self-piercing feed valve quickly pierces and clamps onto hard copper pipes to provide a connection for RO system feed lines. 1/4" compression nut connection attaches to the feed line.
Q:
What does the SVN6-14 feed valve do?
A:
It clamps to compatible hard copper pipe and pierces the pipe wall to provide a feed-water connection for an RO system.
Q:
What tubing connection does it provide?
A:
It uses a 1/4-inch compression connection for the RO feed line. Confirm tubing outside diameter and the required insert or ferrule arrangement.
Q:
What pipe materials can it be used on?
A:
The listing specifies hard copper pipe. Do not install it on plastic, flexible, corroded, or unsuitable thin-wall tubing.
Q:
Are self-piercing valves allowed everywhere?
A:
Plumbing codes and local practices vary, and some jurisdictions do not allow saddle-style piercing valves. Check local requirements before installation.
Q:
Can it be installed on a hot-water line?
A:
No. RO systems normally require a cold-water feed. Confirm the selected pipe and shut off the supply before installation.
Q:
What should I check after installation?
A:
Open the valve as directed, pressurize slowly, inspect the clamp and compression connection for leaks, and ensure the RO feed line is not kinked or strained.
