Finishing the Water Connection1. Open up the sillcock to prevent the heat from soldering to build up. 2. Clean a couple of smaller sections of copper pipe, as well as a 90-degree elbow. 3. Apply flux, and then slip the pipe into the elbow. 4. Solder the connection, and then mount the unit to the sillcock. 5. Measure the distance between the sillcock and the water line with a piece of cut pipe. 6. Cut the excess using a pipe cutter.
7. Clean and prepare the connecting pipe, 90-degree elbows and any exposed pipes. 8. Slide the elbows on either end, and then connect the sillcock to the water line (figure G). 9. Solder all of the joints (figure H). 10. Open the shut-off valve, and then allow the outside sillcock enough time to flush out debris before turning it off.
