Cutting the Copper Hot Water Pipe – Layout B
Please follow all pre-installation instructions carefully. If further assistance is needed, a licensed and
qualified plumber in accordance with all applicable national, state, provincial, and local plumbing codes
should be hired.
1. Locate the irremovable or essential union on the hot water pipe. On the copper pipe, mark with a
pencil 2 inches above the topmost point of the irremovable/essential union.
Refer to Figure C.
2. Using a pipe cutter, cut the hot water copper pipe at this 2-inch mark (
Cut C
), being as accurate as
possible.
Refer to Figure C.
Do not remove any pipe yet, simply perform Cut C.
3. Now measure upwards
EXACTLY 12 ½ inches
from cut C.
Refer to Figure D.
Mark this on the copper
pipe with a pencil.
IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT ACCURACY BE USED DURING THIS STEP. CUTTING THE
PIPE TOO MUCH WILL PREVENT A SECURE CONNECTION FROM TAKING PLACE.
4. Cut the pipe at the 12 ½ inch mark (
Cut D
), taking extreme care for accuracy. If the installer is less
experienced or unsure, it is advised to cut the pipe slightly below the 12 ½ inch mark. It is safer to
cut too little and correct a mistake than to cut too much.
5. Secure the fittings onto BOTH exposed ends of the copper pipe, making sure there are no stray or
jagged pieces of copper stemming from the pipes. Make sure the fittings are pushed as far as
possible onto the copper pipe, fully sealing the connection.
