new rubber washer provided. 

If space permits, attach the brass female end of the “Y” 

connector to the cold water faucet. See figure A.

If “Y” connector cannot be attached directly to the cold water 

faucet, the short hose must be used. See figure B. Attach 

short hose to cold water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand 

until it is seated on faucet. Then attach “Y” connector to 

brass male end of the short hose. Screw on coupling by hand 

until it is seated on connector.
