Step 5 · Install Water Supply and Valve Covers

This is the step people usually slow down on. Go finger-tight first, then a quarter turn. No rush — replay the clip whenever it helps.

Now, take the two smaller shield pieces intended for the water supply lines. Identify the hot water line (usually on the left). Wrap one shield piece around the hot water supply pipe and the corresponding angle stop. Secure it tightly using its hook-and-loop fasteners. The cover should fully insulate the pipe and valve body but allow the handle to be turned. Repeat the exact same process for the cold water supply line on the right. Adjust the positioning of both covers to ensure there are no gaps and the coverage is complete and neat.
