Installing the shut-off valve

Refer to the diagram below for the
following steps.

1.

Locate the shut-off valve and the
front pipe clamp (with the
threaded hole in the center) from
the copper tubing kit. Then, being
careful not to cross-thread the
valve, screw the end with the pilot
tube into the threaded hole of the
clamp. Hand-tighten the valve as
far as it will go (the threaded
shaft is slightly tapered and can
only be tightened so far).

2.

Use a ½" open-end (or
adjustable) wrench, and turn the
body of the shut-off valve an
additional ⅛-turn to secure it to
the clamp.

3.

Slide the rubber seal gasket
(from the copper tubing kit) over
the pilot tube (the unthreaded
portion) of the shut-off valve.

4.

Carefully slide the pilot tube of
the shut-off valve into the water
pipe access hole so it is against
the seal gasket, and install the
back pipe clamp over the water
pipe. Secure the clamps to the
pipe with the two screws and nuts
that were supplied with the
copper tubing kit. Tighten the
nuts equally so that the space
between the clamps is the same
(see DETAIL A). DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN the nuts or you
could deform the clamps and
damage the seal gasket.
