• 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.
1. Create service loop with
copper tubing (minimum 2'
diameter). Avoid kinks in the
copper tubing when
bending the service loop.
Do not use plastic tubing.
