Helpful Tip:
Compression fittings:
a. Slide nut onto copper tubing about 1" (2.5 cm).
b. Slide ferrule onto the tubing. Do not position ferrule
on the end of the tubing.
c. Put the tubing into the elbow as far as it will go.
d. Slide the nut and ferrule forward and start the nut
onto the elbow threads. Be gentle when handling and
positioning the copper tubing, it bends and kinks
easily.
1. To prevent vibration during operation, route the water
supply line so that it does not touch the dishwasher
base, frame or motor.
2. With copper tubing pushed into compression fitting as
far as it will go, use a wrench and tighten compression
fitting nut to elbow on water inlet valve.
