Before continuing, determine the type of water supply connecation you have from
the chart below and use the appropriate assembly parts required to properly
reconnect the water supply. DO NOT use plumber's putty to seal these fittings.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE
CONE WASHER WITH
PLASTIC SUPPLY LINE.
These parts must be used as
illustrated to insure water-tight
connection. Use of existing
coupling nut may result in
water leakage. Water supply
tube or pipe must extend at
least 1/2" inside threaded
shank of valve (does not apply
to flanged tubing). Use existing
coupling nut
and washer. Use existing spiral
cone washer.

seal completely on
spiral type supply
line. Captive cone
washers already
included. No
additional washers
needed.
