instructions below:
COPPER COMPRESSION INLET
Be sure to shut off water before starting.
For use with type L or M copper only.
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. Warning: 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.
7. For riser tube installation, see that section.
Tools Needed for Installation: • Wrench • Tube Cutter

Push fitting/valve over stub out and rotate to distribute flux evenly.
3. Apply heat to all sides, checking temperature occasionally by touching end
of solder to surface (not to flame). When solder liquefies, temperature is correct.
Feed solder around edge of fitting/valve as heat is applied.
4. While stub out is still hot, carefully wipe valve with damp rag to leave an
attractive chrome-like finish. Avoid moving fitting/valve until solder hardens.
Tools Needed for Installation:
