Connecting the copper tubing to the water valve
Refer to the diagram below for the
following steps.
1.
Check to make sure that the free
end of the tubing is round and cut
even. If necessary, prepare the
end in the same manner as you
did earlier. Be sure to clean the
filings from inside the tubing after
you prepare the end.
When you perform the next step, be
careful not to kink the copper tubing.
2.
Starting at the free end,
straighten approximately 20" of
the copper tubing.
3.
Close the water tap you left open
earlier to bleed the water lines.
4. Insert the end of the copper
tubing into a pail, and have
someone turn on the water
supply. Allow enough water to
flow through the lines to
thoroughly flush them out. Once
the water runs clear, turn off the
supply and bleed the lines.
5.
Remove the strain relief clamp
from the rear of the cabinet and
slide it over the end of the copper
tubing. Make sure you position
the flanges as shown.
6. Slide a compression nut over the
free end of the copper tubing.
7. Slide a compression sleeve over
the copper tubing and position it
1" from the end.
8.
If one is installed, remove the
plastic cap from the water inlet
fitting on the water valve and
discard the cap.
9. Insert the end of the tubing into
the water inlet connector at the
top of the water valve as far as it
will go, and hand tighten the
compression nut as much as
possible.
10.
Use a ½" open-end wrench, and
further tighten the compression
nut on the water inlet connector
one additional turn
. If necessary,
you will tighten the nut further
after you turn on the water
supply.
11.
Mount the strain relief clamp to
the back of the cabinet with the
hex-head screw you removed
earlier.
