Water Supply Valve
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.
