Step 1: Install the three-way feed water ball valve
Locate the cold water supply stop valve under the kitchen sink. Turn
the incoming cold water off (typically by turning the valve in clockwise
direction). Turn on the kitchen faucet to release any pressure in the pipes
and to make sure the water has stopped before proceeding to the next
step.
The cold water supply stop valve is usually located on the right-hand
side. However, to ensure this is the case, turn the hot water on for two
minutes. Feel both hoses with your palm. The hot water supply riser hose
should feel warm. The one remaining cool is the cold water supply.
Once you have ensured that the cold water supply is turned off,
disconnect the cold water riser hose tting from the cold water supply
stop valve that you just turned off. Using an adjustable wrench, loosen
the nut (typically by turning in a counter-clockwise direction) until
disconnected. There may be some residual water inside the riser hose
so have a bucket or towel to catch it.
Now install the three-way feed water ball valve. The three way feed water
ball valve has a top and a bottom that are threaded nut connectors with
a side quick-connect tting. Use the thread seal tape to wrap the threads
of the three-way feed water ball valve and attach the cold water riser
hose to it. Use the thread seal tape to wrap the threaded stem from the
cold water supply stop valve coming out of the wall and gently screw the
three-way ball valve on over the tape. Make sure that both connections
are secure, but do not over tighten or you can damage the ttings.
If your pipe connection is 1/2”, the three-way feed water ball valve is
3/8”, but comes with a 1/2” converter for your convenience.
