Cut Holes in Cabinet
Using a screw gun with a 1/2" drill bit, cut a hole between each cabinet as far back and as far up as you can. Make these holes around the entire run of the base cabinetry.

Connect PVC Line to Saddle Valve
Connect the PVC line to the saddle valve using a captive nut and sleeve that is provided with the valve.

Once the PVC line is connected, use the saddle valve to attach it to the cold water line.
