Step 5

Install the Feed Water Supply Valve
For Installation with Standard Angle Stop Water Supply Valve
A. Shut off the water at the angle stop valve.
B. Use a 5/8-inch open-end wrench to loosen the compression nut on the angle stop riser tube.
C. Install the Feed Water Supply valve onto the angle stop. Use the 5/8-inch wrench to tighten
the compression nut on the feed water supply valve. Do not overtighten!
D. Reconnect the riser tube to the other end of the feed water supply valve. Do not
overtighten!
Caution: A longer riser tube assembly will be required if a gentle loop cannot be made (See
Figure 8).
E. Remove the red locking clip from the feed water supply valve. Fully insert the red 1/4-inch
tube into the speedfit connection and replace the red locking clip. The new feed water valve
can be swiveled to position the tubing out of the way of under sink items.
F. Make sure the feed water supply valve is off before turning the angle stop valve on. Check for
leaks.
