Check for leaks
Be sure rubber washer is properly seated in fitting. Slide the ³⁄₄"
fitting up to the valve and hand tighten to avoid unintentional
cross-threading. Hand tighten until the coupling is tight. Using
pliers, check the tightness of the coupling. An additional ¹⁄₄ to ¹⁄₂
turn may be required to seal the rubber gasket.
NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can result.
