5. Screw the 3/8" compression end of the purchased flexible hoses to the 3/8"

connections on the valve. Screw the 1/2" ends of these same two hoses to the
underside of the hot and cold water faucet/tap respectively.
a) Make sure to match the hot and cold sides marked on the valve with the

corresponding faucet/tap.

b) Make sure that the hot side connection is attached to the hot water faucet/tap and

the cold water side connection is attached to the cold water faucet/tap

c) Make sure that the hoses are long enough to allow the valve to be positioned as

planned.

6. If desired, fasten the valve to the wall or vanity cabinet using the optional mounting

bracket and screws that are provided in the kit.

7. Open the faucet/tap and hot and cold water riser shutoff valves to purge any air

entrained in the valve or hoses and to insure there are no leaks at any connections.

8. Remove the locking screw from the battery compartment cover on the valve. Insert the

batteries in their proper orientation into the compartment on the valve. Be sure to
match the positive (+) and negative (-) ends of the batteries with the corresponding
polarity symbols on the bottom of the housing. Installing one battery in reverse will
result in improper system operation. Return the locking screw to its proper position
when the batteries have been installed.

CAUTION:

Short circuit hazard. Improper battery installation may cause personal
injury or property damage due to short circuit or battery leakage.

This installation method applies to most situations where faucets/taps are connected to
hot and cold water supply lines with braided flexible hose/shut-off valve arrangements. If
the under-sink arrangement is different, for example the risers are hard copper or plastic,
then other parts not listed here may be required for the installation.
