Installation
5. Slide brass nut over sleeve and
screw nut into inlet port.
Place adjustable wrench on nut
(1)
attached to plastic waterline
and maintain position.
Using second adjustable wrench
turn the lower nut
(2)
counterclockwise
and fully tighten
while holding the upper nut in
place.
Important: Do not

may occur.
6. Pull on tubing to confirm
connection is secure. Connect
tubing to frame with water
tubing clamp
(C)
and turn on
water supply. Check for leaks
