Connecting the Supply Lines

1. In order to shut off the flow of water to the house, the ball valve on the main water line must be turned clockwise 90 degrees.
2. One end of a standard braided water supply line should be placed over the cold water valve under the vanity. Typically, the cold water is on the right side. Take a wrench and turn the nut on the supply line until tight.
3. Another end of a standard braided water supply line should be placed over the hot water valve under the vanity. Typically, the hot water is on the left side. Take a wrench, and again, turn the nut on the supply line until tight.
4. The other ends of the supply lines must be pulled up to the back of the sink. The line that’s connected to the cold water must be placed on the pipe threads under the right faucet handle, and the supply line that’s connected to the hot water must be placed on the left side.
5. Take a wrench to turn both of the nuts on the supply lines clockwise until it tight. Both of the water lines will be connected to the vanity by this.
6. In order to turn the water back on, turn the main water line 90 degrees counterclockwise. Both of the handles on the vanity faucet should be tested and also, make sure no water is leaking through the P-trap.
