Notes:
• Use copper tubing only for installation. Plastic is
less durable and can cause damage.
• Add 8' to tubing length needed to reach water
supply for creation of service loop.
1. Create service loop with
copper tubing (minimum 2'
diameter). Avoid kinks in the
copper tubing when
bending the service loop. Do
not use plastic tubing.
2. Remove plastic cap from water valve
inlet port.
3. Place brass nut (A) and sleeve (B)
on copper tube end as illustrated.
Reminder: Do not use an old
sleeve. The nut and sleeve are
provided in the Use and Care
packet.
4. Place end of copper tubing into
water valve inlet port. Shape
tubing slightly. Do not kink – so
that tubing feeds straight into inlet
port.
