you are not sure, consult a qualified

plumber.

1. Separate the union from the tap

adaptor. (Figure A)

2. Install the tap adaptor to 1/2valve

B)

3. After inserting the water pipe to the

union, install it to the tap adaptor

and insert to the tap as shown in the

figure. (Figure C)

4. Tighten the union manually. In case of

a leak use a spanner or a pair of pliers

to tighten the union.

A Caution: Secure the water pipe

to suitable points by means of the

pipe clips supplied to avoid any

damage or displacement or accidental

disconnection.
