Installation Instructions

To Change Valve Configuration
Tools Required: 8mm hex key & crescent wrench
- Using a crescent wrench, hold the valve body in place at the base of the inside of the appliance box.
- Insert an 8mm hex key into the Tectite by Apollo push-to-connect fitting until it seats properly and turn counter-clockwise completely removing the fitting from the valve body.
- Remove the slim retaining nut which will allow for the removal of the valve body.
- Turning the box 180º so the top becomes the bottom will reveal knockouts for a side oriented drain and the appropriate valve placement locations.
