Before continuing, determine the type of water supply connecation you have from 
the chart below and use the appropriate assembly parts required to properly 
reconnect the water supply. DO NOT use plumber's putty to seal these fittings.

illustrated to insure water-tight 
connection. Use of existing 
coupling nut may result in 
water leakage. Water supply 
tube or pipe must extend at 
least 1/2" inside threaded 
shank of valve (does not 
apply to flanged tubing).

Use existing 
coupling nut 
and washer.

cone washer. 
Fluidmaster cone 
washer may not 
seal completely on 
spiral type supply 
line.

Captive cone 
washers already 
included. No 
additional washers 
needed.
