1. Install The Supply Stop
NOTE: Use a strap wrench when tightening to avoid marring the
finish of the stop. Alternately, the inlet end of a stop body has two
flat sides to accommodate a wrench for tightening, but protect the
flats from scratching, such as by taping the jaws of the wrench.
Wrap thread sealant tape around the water pipe thread. Thread
the inlet end of the stop body onto the water pipe. Tighten with a
clean strap wrench.
For threaded outlet models: Wrap thread sealant tape around the
fixture supply pipe threads. Thread the pipe into the outlet end of
the stop body. Tighten with a clean strap wrench.
For compression outlet models: Remove the nut and sleeve from
the stop body. Slide the nut and sleeve over the fixture supply
tubing. Slip the tubing into the outlet end of the stop body. Slide
the sleeve down until it seats against the inside surface of the
outlet. Slide the nut down and tighten with a wrench.
Make certain that all pipes and fittings between the water supply
and the fixture are properly aligned and securely tightened.
For supply stops with a four-arm handle: Turn the handle on the
stop body clockwise to close.
For supply stops with a volume-control key: Insert the volume
control key (provided) into the corresponding end of the stop
body. Turn the key clockwise to close.
Turn on the water supply.
