Installation
-
Run some water from the hot and cold faucets to flush the water lines and remove particles that might clog the water valve screens and to determine which faucet is hot and which is cold supply. (Fig. 1).

Check to ensure the inlet hoses have the rubber washer firmly in place. (Fig. 2).

The water supply pressure must be between 14.5 PSI and 116 PSI. If the water supply pressure is more than 116 PSI, you must install a pressure reducing valve. NOTE: The washer requires both a hot and a cold water supply to be attached. The water supply for the hot water valve should be at least 120˚F. Replace water supply hoses every 2 to 3 years.
