Shut off the furnace and wait for it to cool down. Turn off the circuit breaker to the furnace.
Twist the oval or round knob on the water line clockwise as far as it will rotate to shut off the water.
Spray lubricant around the hexagonal coupler on the end of the water line. Let the lubricant seep into the threading for at least 10 minutes to make it easier to disconnect the line.
Place a pipe wrench on the coupler and tighten the adjustment wheel on the wrench.
Pull the wrench handle counterclockwise to unscrew the coupler and disconnect it from the furnace.
Lower the end of the disconnected line into a bucket to catch any residual water and avoid making a mess on the floor.
