tubing.
2. Remove the plastic cap from water valve inlet port. Place a
compression
nut and sleeve on the copper tubing.

nut over the sleeve and screw into the
water valve inlet port.
Using an adjustable wrench, hold the nut on the plastic water
line to keep it from moving. Then, with a second wrench turn
the compression
