Supco cs-6 3/8 Inch Sweat Saddle Valve

Product Description

The SUPCO cs-6 is a sweat-type saddle valve designed for 3/8-inch nominal fitting connections. Saddle valves allow a technician to tap into an existing copper water line without cutting the pipe, making them a common solution for low-flow supply lines to icemakers, humidifiers, and similar appliances. The cs-6 is manufactured in the USA and carries TAA/BAA compliance, making it suitable for government and institutional projects that require domestically sourced components. Installation requires sweat (solder) connections, so copper-compatible flux and solder are needed on the job.

This saddle valve is used in residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a secondary branch connection must be added to an existing copper supply line. Typical installations include humidifier feed lines on HVAC systems, refrigerator icemaker supply taps, and water treatment equipment connections. Its compact 0.5-inch assembled width makes it practical in tight mechanical spaces.

Installation Notes

A licensed plumber should perform sweat saddle valve installations where local codes require it. Before beginning work, shut off the water supply to the line being tapped and depressurize by opening a downstream fixture. Use appropriate copper flux and lead-free solder per IPC requirements. Verify line pressure is within the valve rating before restoring supply.
