COPPER COMPRESSION INLET
1. Place compression nut and sleeve onto the copper tube.
2. A drop of general purpose oil will make tightening easier.
3. If using a drop of oil or thread sealant be sure the threads are clean of any debris and that sealant is also free of any metal debris. DO NOT USE a putty, gasket material or thread seal tape.
4. If using a thread sealant, apply a thin even coat to the male compression threads only taking care not to get thread sealant on the compression ring or sealing surface. IMPORTANT: Excessive thread sealant may cause joint to fail.
5. Hand tighten the compression nut onto the stop as far as it will allow.
6. Using hand tools, tighten 3/4 turn from the hand tight position. Note: Make sure that the stop remains seated and square to the copper tube. If the stop is not square to the copper tube, this could affect the ability to get a good connection. CAUTION: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN as this could lead to future failure.
7. For riser tube installation, see that section.
CAUTION: STOP MUST BE USED IN THE FULLY OPENED OR FULLY CLOSED POSITION.
COPPER COMPRESSION OUTLET
1. Cut the riser tube to length so it bottoms out in the stop.
2. Place compression nut and sleeve onto the copper tube.
3. A drop of general purpose oil will make tightening easier.
4. If using a drop of oil or thread sealant be sure the threads are clean of any debris and that sealant is also free of any metal debris. DO NOT USE a putty, gasket material or thread seal tape.
FLEXIBLE NUT X NUT CONNECTOR
Be sure to shut off water before starting.
CAUTION: BE SURE TO IDENTIFY THE CORRECT WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION PROCEDURE. APPLICATION OF THIS CONNECTOR WITH THE INCORRECT WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION MAY CAUSE LEAKS.
1. Shut off water supply at stop.
2. Remove old supply tubes.
3. Thread wing nut of connector onto faucet shank or toilet ballcock and hand tighten only. For connectors with metal nuts, hand tighten, then wrench tighten 1/4 turn more. CAUTION: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN as this could lead to future failure.
Tools Needed for Installation: • Wrench • Protective cloth
NOTE: Connector includes washers, DO NOT USE THREAD SEALANT.
PEX COMPRESSION OUTLET
Be sure to shut off water before starting. NOTE: On 3/8 in. OD and smaller, use plastic compression sleeve. On tubing larger than 3/8 in. OD, use brass compression sleeve w/stainless steel tube insert.
1. Cut the riser tube to length so it bottoms out in the stop.
2. Place compression nut and sleeve onto the PEX tube.
3. If larger than 3/8 in. OD, insert stainless steel tube insert.
4. A drop of general purpose oil will make tightening easier.
5. If using a drop of oil or thread sealant be sure the threads are clean of any debris and that sealant is also free of any metal debris. DO NOT USE a putty, gasket material or thread seal tape.
6. If using a thread sealant, apply a thin even coat to the male compression threads only taking care not to get thread sealant on the compression ring or sealing surface. IMPORTANT: Excessive thread sealant may cause joint to fail.
7. Hand tighten the compression nut onto the stop as far as it will allow.
8. Using hand tools, tighten 1-1/2 to 2 turns from the hand tight position. Note: Make sure that the riser remains seated and square to the stop. If the riser is not square to the stop, this could affect the ability to get a good connection.
CAUTION: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN as this could lead to future failure
