All right, putting these angle stops on. I like to use at least three wraps of Teflon, followed up with a little bit of Megalock. You always want to make sure there's no Teflon on your first thread. You don't want anything getting bunched up on the front side of this and causing any kind of blockage or anything like that. Okay. Mega lock right around the teflon. Doesn't have to be tons. I got a/2 in female adapter by 1/4 in for my fridge supply. I've got a 1/2 in FIP by 3/8 compression for the faucet straight stop. And I've got a 1/2 in by 3/8 compression angle stop. And this is going to be for the dishwasher. Grab my favorite adjustable jaw combo. These things are slim. All right. So, I started with the fridge line. We are going to face this angle stop down. Installed the straight stop for the cold side of the faucet. Over on the hot side, put in the dishwasher angle stop facing down and then installed the straight stop for the faucet. Get the water back up to the rest of the house.
