copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression nut
and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not
overtighten. Confirm copper tubing is secure by pulling on
copper tubing.

with the copper tubing. Avoid kinks when coiling the copper
tubing.
2.
Remove the plastic cap from water valve inlet port. Place a
compression nut and sleeve on the copper tubing.

Using an adjustable wrench, hold the nut on the plastic water
line to keep it from moving. Then, with a second wrench turn
the compression nut on the copper tubing counterclockwise
to completely tighten. Do not overtighten.
