IMPORTANT: Before attaching the tubing to shutoff valve, flush
the main water supply line to remove particles and air in the water
line. Allow enough flow so that water becomes clear. Flushing the
water line may help avoid filters and/or water valves from
becoming clogged.
7. Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on the
copper tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the
outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut
onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten the
clamp or the sleeve. This will crush the copper tubing.
8. Turn off the shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil the copper
tubing.
9. Connect the flexible, codes approved water supply line to the
water shutoff valve by threading the provided nut onto the
shutoff valve.
10. Place the end of the tubing into a bucket, and turn shutoff
valve ON.
11. Check for leaks around the saddle valve. Tighten any nuts or
connections (including connections at the valve) that leak.
