Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear the line of water.
Shut Off the Main Water Supply
Install the Shutoff Valve
Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used drinking water line.
Choose a location for the valve that is easily accessible. It is best to connect
into the side of a vertical water pipe. When it is necessary to connect into a
horizontal water pipe, make the connection to the top or side, rather than at
the bottom, to avoid drawing off any sediment from the water pipe.
Drill a 1/4² hole in the water pipe, using a sharp bit. Remove any burrs
resulting from drilling the hole in the pipe.
Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe clamp.
Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer begins to swell.
Do not overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing.
