Maytag W10401504D installation instructions Connect to Drain

Connect the ³⁄₈" compression fitting to the water supply line prior to installing the unit into the cabinet opening. Attach so that the ³⁄₄" connection is facing upward as shown above.

Copper tubing only: Put the tubing into the 90° elbow fitting as far as it will go (the copper tubing bends and kinks easily). Slide the nut and ferrule forward and start the nut onto the elbow threads.

Flexible braided connection: Secure nut to elbow using ⁵⁄₈" open ended wrench or adjustable wrench.

NOTE: Do not use Teflon®† tape with compression fittings.

Be sure rubber washer is properly seated in fitting. Slide the ³⁄₄" fitting up to the valve and hand tighten to avoid cross- threading. Hand tighten until the coupling is tight.

Using pliers, check the tightness of the coupling. An additional ¹⁄₄ to ¹⁄₂ turn may be required to seal the rubber gasket.

NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can result.

Place paper towel under 90° elbow fitting. Turn on water supply and check for leaks. If leak occurs, repeat previous step.
