Remove nuts and sleeves from compression fittingsand install fittings into each end of the valve usingTeflon® tape or thread sealant to ensure a watertightseal. Hold one wrench on flats of valve body anduse the other to tighten fittings.2. Measure the distance from end to end of valveassembly once fittings are secure. For ½" tube(⁵/₈" outside diameter) subtract ½", for ¾" tube(⁷/₈" outside diameter) subtract ¾" from your valveassembly measurement. This is the length of thesection of tubing to be cut out of the existing line.The piece of existing tubing is shorter than themeasured length so that the tube ends extend intothe compression fittings.3.
