feet diameter). Avoid kinks in the copper tubing when
bending the service loop. Do not use plastic tubing.
Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet port.
Installation
Materials Needed
• 1/4” outer diameter flexible copper tubing
• Shut-off valve (requires a 1/4” hole to be drilled into water supply line before valve
attachment)
• 2 adjustable wrenches
• 1/4” hex nut driver
NOTE: Use copper tubing only for installation. Plastic is less durable and can cause damage.
Add 8 feet to tubing length needed to reach water supply for creation of service loop.
