Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear the line of water.
Install the Shutoff Valve
| Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used drinking water line. | |||
1 | ||||
| Choose a location for the valve that is easily accessible. It is best to connect | |||
2 | ||||
| into the side of a vertical water pipe. When it is necessary to connect into a | |||
| horizontal water pipe, make the connection to the top or side, rather than at | |||
| the bottom, to avoid drawing off any sediment from the water pipe. | |||
| Drill a 1/4″ hole in the water pipe, using a sharp bit. Remove any burrs | |||
3 | ||||
| resulting from drilling the hole in the pipe. |
| ||
| Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe clamp. | |||
4 | ||||
| Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer begins to swell. | |||
5 | ||||
| Do not overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing. |
