When you are finished, clean the filings from inside the tubing as much as possible. 5. Use a l/2" open-end wrench, and further tighten the compression nut on the shut-off valve one additional turn. If necessary, you will tighten the nut further after you turn on the water supply. 6.Turn the T-handle on the shut-off valve to its fully "open" (counterclockwise rotation) position. 2.
