Screw the pressure regulator onto the solenoid valve outlet. Use PTFE tape to seal the threads according to the reference guide.
Screw the coupler onto the pressure regulator. Use PTFE tape to seal the threads according to the reference guide.
Screw the barbed adapter into the coupler. Use PTFE tape to seal the threads according to the reference guide.
Push the water tube onto the barbed adapter and secure it with a zip tie.
Step 5: Wire up the solenoid valve
