Connect to Water Supply

1
Slide nut and ferrule
onto tubing
Copper tubing only: Slide nut then ferrule onto copper
tubing about 1" (2.5 cm).
NOTE: To avoid vibration during operation, route the
water supply line so that it does not touch the
dishwasher base, frame or motor.

Connect water supply
using copper or flexible line
Copper tubing only: Put the tubing into the 90° elbow
fitting as far as it will go (the copper tubing bends and
kinks easily). Slide the nut and ferrule forward and start
the nut onto the elbow threads.
Flexible braided connection: Secure nut to elbow using
5/8" open ended wrench or adjustable wrench.
NOTE: Do not use Teflon

Tighten copper or braided
tubing connection
Hold the 90° elbow fitting still with one adjustable wrench
and tighten the nut with second adjustable wrench.
Helpful Tip: Use a 5/8" open ended wrench for easier
access to tighten connection.
