5. Using a cordless drill, drill a ¹₄" hole in the cold water pipe you have selected.
6. Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe clamp. Be sure the outlet end is
solidly in the ¹₄" drilled hole in the water pipe and that the washer is under the pipe clamp.
Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws slowly and evenly so washer makes a
watertight seal. Do not overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing.
7. Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on the copper tubing as shown. Insert the
end of the tubing into the outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut
onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.
8. Place the free end of the tubing in a container or sink, and turn ON the main water supply.
Flush the tubing until water is clear. Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil the copper
tubing.
