Step 4B: (Optional) Hard Plumbing With Copper
Fittings
When preparing the male threaded fittings of the I/O
adapter, use the following guidelines to avoid damage to the
plastic pipe threads.
A. Wrap the threads three times with 1/2-inch (2.5-cm) wide
Teflon tape. Place each consecutive wrap on top of the
previous wrap.
B. To prevent tearing of the tape, use Teflon paste on the
first two male threads only. The paste lubricates the tape
and fills the small void areas that might exist between the
threads. When the joint is complete, there will be a small
bead of sealant at the fitting interface, which indicates a
properly joined connection.

C. Use a union with a threaded connection to facilitate repair of potential leaks in soldered
joints.
D. Prepare the copper tail assemblies in advance to enable them to cool prior to final assembly.
Advance preparation and cooling will prevent heat damage to the plastic pipe threads of the
adapter.
E. Ensure that the copper tube is at least 4 inch (10 cm) long.
F. Turn the fitting counterclockwise until you feel the threads engage and then tighten to
prevent cross threading. Do NOT overtighten the fittings.
Caution: Do NOT allow heat from the torch to transfer to the plastic valve component,
which could be damaged.
