Feed Water Supply - GE PNRQ15RBL Owner's Manual & Installation Instructions

Feed Water Supply

Check and comply with local plumbing codes as you plan, then install a cold feed water supply fitting.
A. PREFERRED INSTALLATION
Utilizing existing kitchen sink water supply valve and
removable faucet tubing.
A typical connection using the included water supply
fitting is shown in the illustration below.
1. Close the water shut-off valve that is immediately
in front of the supply tube and open the faucets to
drain water from the sink cold water pipe.
2. Remove the nut that connects the cold water faucet
to the supply tube. Some water may spill out.
NOTES:
• Be sure to turn off the water supply and open a
faucet to drain the pipe.
• Make sure the gasket is installed in the water
supply fitting.

3. Hand-tighten the water supply fitting onto the cold
water faucet. Be sure the gasket, as shown, is
in place before final assembly. Finish tightening
with an adjustable wrench. Be careful not to
overtighten or cross-thread, since damage to
the threads can occur. Make sure the 1/4" quick
connection is not against a wall that causes the
supply tubing connection to bend. A quarter
turn to tighten or loosen the adapter may be
necessary to avoid this.
4. Reconnect faucet tubing line to the fitting.
5. Install tubing. (See Installing the Tubing section.)
