COLD WATER SUPPLY FITTING

A. PREFERRED INSTALLATION

(Utilizing existing kitchen sink water supply valve and flexible faucet tubing)

A typical connection using the included water supply fitting is shown in the illustration below.

1.Close the water shut-off valve that is immediately in front of the supply tube and open the faucets to drain water from the sink cold water pipe.

2.Remove the nut that connects the cold water faucet to the supply tube. Some water may spill out.

NOTES:

•Be sure to turn off the water supply and open a faucet to drain the pipe.

•Make sure the gasket is installed in the water supply fitting.

3.Hand-tighten the water supply fitting onto the cold water faucet. Be sure the gasket, as shown, is in place before final assembly. Finish tightening with an adjustable wrench. Be careful not to overtighten

or cross-thread, as damage to the threads can occur. Make sure the 1/4″ quick connection is not against a wall that causes the supply tubing connection to bend. A quarter turn to tighten or loosen the adapter may be necessary to avoid this.

4.Reconnect faucet tubing line to the fitting.

5.Install tubing. (See Installing the Tubing section.)
