COLD WATER SUPPLY FITTING
A. PREFERRED INSTALLATION
(Utilizing existing kitchen sink water supply valve
and flexible 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, as 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.)
