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, since 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.
