Water supply line with Adapt-a-Valve in 1/2” configuration

B.
Use the 1/2” configuration if you have a
water supply line that either does not have
a slip joint nut, or has a 1/2” slip joint nut at
the angle stop valve.
1.
Turn the angle stop valve completely off to turn off the cold water supply.
2.
Turn the slip joint nut counter clockwise with an 8” adjustable wrench to disconnect the cold water supply
line. This will either be located at the angle stop valve or at your faucet pipe, depending on your plumbing.
3.
With your wrench, connect the Adapta-a-Valve to the pipe where you removed the slip joint nut.
Make sure the rubber washer is in place, and then turn it clockwise until it is tight, but not over-tight!
4.
Connect the plumbing/supply line to the Adapta-a-Valve with the slip joint nut. If necessary, you can trim
the supply line before connecting to make sure the supply line doesn’t block the shut-off valve on the side.
5.
Connect your 1/4” clear plastic tubing to the Adapta-a-Valve by inserting the tubing as far as it will go,
through the same small hole in the adapter that you attached to the shut-off valve.
a.
Cut (square cut) the tip ends off the tubing using a sharp knife. Do not use scissors.
b
. Push the tubing through the small hole in the valve until you feel resistance—at this point,
the tubing is still not fully inserted, so you’ll need to push firmly until the tubing is inserted as far
as it will go. Ultimately, the 1/4” clear tubing should be inserted about 5/8”.
6.
Make sure that the unit shut-off valve, attached to the Adapta-a-Valve, is off by turning the handle
clockwise until it stops.
Install on the cold water line only:
