• '/a" outer diameter flexible copper tubing
• Shut-off valve (requires a '//' hole to be drilled into
water supply line before valve attachment)
• Adjustable wrench

• Use copper tubing only for installation. Plastic is
less durable and can cause damage.
• Add 8' to tubing length needed to reach water
supply for creation of service loop.
2' diameter
