6.Fasten shutoff valve to cold water pipe with pipe clamp. Be sure outlet end is solidly in the ¹⁄₄" drilled hole in the water pipe and that rubber washer is under the pipe clamp. Tighten packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws slowly and evenly so rubber washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing, especially if soft (coiled) copper tubing is used. Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing.
7.Slip compression sleeve and compression nut on copper tubing as shown. Insert end of tubing into outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.
8.Place the free end of the tubing into a bucket or sink. Turn ON main water supply and flush out tubing until water is clear. Turn OFF shutoff valve on the water pipe. Check for leaks. Coil copper tubing.
