9a Before continuing, determine the type of water supply connection you have from the chart below and use the appropriate assembly parts
required to properly reconnect the water supply. DO NOT use plumber's putty to seal these fittings.

coupling nut
and washer. Use existing spiral cone
washer. Fluidmaster
cone washer may not
seal completely on
spiral type supply line. Captive cone
washers already
included. No
additional washers
needed.
