You may need additional parts with separate directions. See "Alternative Parts". 9.

Attach hose to hot water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on washer. Use pliers to tighten couplings an additional two-thirds turn. Repeat this step with second hose for cold water faucet. IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on valve when attaching to faucets or washer. Damage can result.
