Installation Instructions

Place the compression nut and ferrule
(sleeve) for copper tubing onto the end
of the tubing and connect it to the
shutoff valve.

Make sure the tubing is fully inserted
into the valve. Tighten the compression
nut securely.

For plastic tubing from a GE

insert the molded end of the tubing into
the shutoff valve and tighten compression

additional turn with a wrench.
Overtightening may cause leaks.
