Step 1: Install the three-way feed water adaptor valve
Locate the cold water supply valve under the kitchen sink. Turn the
incoming cold water off by turning the valve clockwise. Turn on the
kitchen faucet to release any pressure and make sure the water has
stopped before proceeding to the next step.
The cold water supply is usually located on the right-hand side.
However, to ensure this is the case, turn the hot water on for two
minutes. Feel both hoses with your palm. The hot water supply riser
hose should feel warm. The one remaining cool is the cold water supply.
Next, install the three-way feed water adaptor valve.
Once you have ensured that the cold water supply is shut off, disconnect
the cold water riser hose fitting from the cold water valve that you just
turned off. Using an adjustable wrench, turn the nut counter clockwise
until disconnected. There may be some residual water inside the riser
hose so have a bucket or towel to catch it.
Now install the three-way feed water adaptor valve. The adaptor valve
has a top and a bottom that are threaded nut connectors with a side
quick-connect fitting. Use the thread seal tape to wrap the threaded
stem from the cold water valve coming out of the wall and gently screw
the adaptor on over the tape. Next, repeat step above and reconnect the
cold water riser hose. Make sure that both connections are secure, but
do not over tighten or you can damage the fittings.
