Note: This is a good time to inspect the washing machine hoses and gaskets. Re-

place them if they are brittle or show signs of cracking or leaking with Watts
Model CWM Flexible Washing Machine Hose Connectors.

4. Use the A2C-M1 as a template (Figure 1) and mark the location for the two wall

anchor holes. Using a

⁄

" drill bit, drill two holes at these marks. Insert wall an-

chors and remove screws.

5. Insert the wall anchors into the wall. Insert the wall anchor screws into the support

tabs on the top of the A2C-M1 and tighten the wall anchor screws (Figure 2).

6. Install the O-ring “A” (see Figure 3) onto the valve adapter (C) (Figure 4) using the

lubrication provided. Insert the adapter into the A2C-M1 valve body inlet. Install
the retaining nut (D) onto the valve body being careful to avoid cross-threading.

7. Insert the fl at washer (E) into the valve adapter (F) (Figure 4). Thread the valve

adapter onto the existing shutoff valve.

8. Insert the O-ring “B” into the swivel adapter nut (G) using the lubrication provided.

Insert the ball swivel (H) into the adapter and thread the adapter onto the valve
adapter (F) (Figure 4).

Note: The small diameter hole on the ball swivel must be placed facing towards the

existing shutoff valve.

9. To determine the length of the tubing (J1) required, refer to (Figure 2A).Measure

distance (H) from inside the ball swivel to the end of the elbow adapter (K), add
dimension (X) to (H).

For the horizontal run (J2) measure the distance (V), between elbows (Figure 2B).

Add dimension (X1) and (X2).

10. Cut the tubing to length and de-burr.

IMPORTANT! Loosely assemble all parts prior to applying the cement

11. When you are certain that the tubing lengths are correct, glue the components.

It is suggested that the CPVC elbow is glued fi rst and that the pieces refi tted to
confi rm that the dimensions are correct.

12. When the cement has dried, tighten all fi ttings.
13. Refer to the A2C-M1 installation instructions to complete the installation and

perform a fi nal check prior to turning on the water supply.
