This little gadget pierces your water pipe so you can steal some water for your ice. It sounds violent, but it’s actually very chill—like a tiny vampire for plumbing.
First, turn off the water supply at the shut-off valve under the sink. No, it’s not optional. Unless you enjoy a surprise indoor water park.
Place the saddle valve over the cold water pipe, tighten it with a screwdriver, and then slowly turn the handle to pierce the pipe. You’ll hear a little pop—that’s normal. If you hear screaming, check your own mouth.
