STEP 1: INSTALL COLD WATER SUPPLY VALVE
Comply with local plumbing codes. A typical connection using a water supply
valve is shown.
NOTE: Be sure to turn off the water supply and open a low faucet to
drain the pipe.
Cold water pipes vary in size and style. The installer will determine type of valve
that will be used. Install a valve on the cold water supply pipe to adapt 1/2-inch
OD tubing. If threaded fittings are used, be sure to use pipe joint compound or
Teflon tape on outside threads.
Turn the valve off.
