Connecting the copper tubing to the shut-off valve
Refer to the diagram below for the
following steps.
1.
Straighten a 2" section of copper
tubing and make sure that the
opening is round and cut evenly
across the end. If necessary, use
a tubing cutter (or a hacksaw)
and cut the end off, then file it so
it is even, and remove any burrs
from around the inside and
outside edges so it is smooth and
round. When you are finished,
clean the filings from inside the
tubing as much as possible.
2.
Position the compression nut as
shown, and slide it over the end
of the copper tubing.
3.
Slide a compression sleeve over
the copper tubing until it is
approximately 1" from the end.
4.
Insert the end of the copper
tubing into the outlet connector of
the shut-off valve as far as it will
go, and then hand tighten the
compression nut as much as
possible.
5. Using a ½" open-end wrench,
further tighten the compression
nut on the shut-off valve one
additional turn
. If necessary, you
will tighten the nut further after
you turn on the water supply.
6.
Turn the T-handle on the shut-off
valve to its fully "open"
(counterclockwise rotation)
position.
