How to install a toilet supply line
* If you have one of those old metal supply lines the way I like to remove them is to loosen the nut to the shut off. Don't loosen the nut on the fill valve. Then take a pair of pliers in about the middle of the metal line and crush it. Then take the pliers and spin them, twisting the supply line around the end of the pliers. This should pull the supply line out of the shut off. You may need to support the shut off while doing this. Then you can take it off the fill valve and be ready to install the new supply line.

The plumbing industry in North America is 100 years behind that of Europe . We are in the stone age. We do not have reliable plumbing and everything leaks in our homes. The Europeans are way ahead when it comes to dealing with water leak issues.

@dianegodsil8548 3 месяца назад

Dang I didn't know that, & it pisses me off! I swear plumbing leaks are the #1 issue/problem I have as a homeowner & it drives me crazy! Now that you've shared that, I am totally convinced the plumbing product manufacturers here in America are purposely having shoddy produced &/or products designed so that we have to keep replacing them over & over due to leaks. Grrrrr. Wish some company would disrupt the industry & solve this problem by giving us better plumbing products!

Just finished installing my new Corky flush system. i could not figure out why my water line connection to the Corky water supply tube was leaking. I couldn't find a washer on the old tube and was going to go to ACE tomorrow (day after Christmas) to buy a new hose as was suggested in this video. However, I decided to look one more time at the old supply tube and there it was, a black rubber washer tucked up inside the tube. Pulled it out and inserted it into the corky tube and no leak. Everything works now. I wonder why the new Corky tube did not include a new washer?

@cesarmoreno5996 Год назад

are these fittings intended to be connected directly to the flex line ? or do they need a little teflon tape or plumbers paste on the thread ? ?

@AroundTheHome1 Год назад

Flexible supply lines are hoses not hard pipe. Meaning they have spinning connectors and rubber washers. No thread tape nor thread paste is needed. If water gets past the rubber washer, the threads will not keep out the leak. It will leak where it spins. Hopefully that helps.

@jameskoelbli9769 6 лет назад

I had a supply line that was leaking at the lock nut to the tank. I replaced it with a new supply line and it leaked worse than before. I kept reinstalling it and still the same result. I even tried the same with a different new supply line and it was still leaking. I then reinstalled the original supply line and it was fine. Got any idea why the new supply lines all leaked but the old one was fine? I installed them all the same way and it looks like a pretty simple process so I'm not sure what I could have done differently.

@AroundTheHome1 6 лет назад

Honestly I have no idea.

@JamieCrowe 6 лет назад

This has happened to me. No leak but put in a bidet and hooked supply back up, incredible leaking.

@satinsangel1688 5 лет назад

Ditto, but mine is still leaking at the tank... Any solutions?

@WongGames 5 лет назад

I had the same problem. Turns out the new line I bought just had a shitty casket. I added a rubber O ring to fill more space where the new casket was leaking. With the extra rubber, it sealed the joint with no leaks.

Hi. I’m actually trying to unscrew that very same grey thing from the toilet tank. Is there a trick to removing it? I simply can’t do it by hand.

@AroundTheHome1 4 года назад

Well, the supply line's end is white, so are you talking about the end of the fill valve. Here is a video that should help you more. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KLvoFsE3NP0.html

Is it normal for there to he loud bangs here and there from shutting off the toilet? I installed a bidet and it works fine with no leaks. A few times today I heard a loud bang. I shut it off again because I wasn't sure what to do. Is there actually a plumbing problem or just the pressure adjusting from being off and on? TIA

@AroundTheHome1 4 месяца назад

Thanks for watching and for your question. I can't fully answer that with ought being there. If you are worried there is a problem it is best to get a plumber out there. Now, from your description it sounds like you have copper pipes and that they may be hammering. I don't know why they would have started to do this with just the installation of a bidet. Are those sounds brand new and do you have copper lines?

@RmP_NeLA 4 месяца назад

@@AroundTheHome1thank you so much for replying. Turns out the water supply hose was a little rigid. Replaced it with a longer, flexible one, reinstalled the bidet, and it's fine now. Maybe trapped air?

@TaichiStraightlife 6 лет назад

I notice you didn't use plumbers tape on the threads before you connected the hose to the supply line. On purpose?

@AroundTheHome1 6 лет назад

Yes, that was on purpose. This is designed like a garden hose. There are rubber washers in each side that make the seal. And honestly, the Plumbers Tape would do nothing here. Both nuts on this hose just hold the hose on. They do not make a seal. If water gets past the rubber washer, then it will leak. Thanks for watching, and I am glad to help.

Question Can I use a toilet supply line with a metal ballcock nut on a tank with a plastic thread?

@AroundTheHome1 5 лет назад

To be honest, I prefer metal to metal, and plastic to plastic. But the metal nut to the plastic stem will be ok. Just be careful not to let the metal nut cross thread the plastic stem because the metal threads will want to. Thanks for watching. Don't forget to stop by our website www.greatwhiteninja.com

Hello sir..the part you're screwing in at 6:54 is not budging in my bathroom while I'm trying to install a bidet washer. Instead when I turn it..the inside component is turning with it...how do I fix this?

@rizwanx7482 4 года назад

Inside component being the part inside the tank which is like a long black tube...

@AroundTheHome1 4 года назад

If I understand you correctly, the fill valve is spinning when you are trying to undo the supply line. If that is correct, then your fill valve really isn't tight enough and after straightening it you will need to tighten the nut on that tube. The one that is right against the bottom of the tank on the toilet. Then you should be able to loosen the supply line without too much trouble. Thank you for watching, and please share.

If your shut off valve is working then that is all that you have to shut off. If it is not shutting off all the way then yes, shut off the water to your whole house. Thanks for watching. Don't forget to stop by our website www.greatwhiteninja.com

@AroundTheHome1 2 года назад

This is an old video of mine and I have it on my list to make an updated one. I did go back and review it. I don't understand what you mean by "video does not help at all". I go through in great detail about how to install it. Including tips like holding the shut off valve steady to no damage your water pipes, and cleaning out the line in the case you might have old pipes with lots of build up. If you are stuck with your gray plastic water line to the toilet, just do my steps in reverse to remove the one you have on.

@alancooper5386 2 года назад

@@AroundTheHome1 Thanks will try it as u just explained things. on monday since its a holiday up here in the north.wife is so pissed about this plumbing issue. no water is better than a leaking value or incorrect installed pipe leaking.

@AroundTheHome1 2 года назад

Yes, we don't need any leaking plumbing. My new video will show the removal of the old line and be a bit more streamlined, but this is what I have right now. The gray plastic lines are really not bad for taking out. The chrome ones do cause a bit of trouble. Here is the only extra tip that I can think of. First, just completely loosen up both nuts, the one on the fill valve and the one on the shut off. Supporting the shut off is always a good idea. The gray plastic line goes inside the shut off about 3/8". So, hold the shut off and pull the gray tube straight out. Then taking it off of the fill valve is easy peasy.

I have the Fluidmaster link in the description because it is a good supply line and there wasn't a good one available online at the time. Here is a link to one similar to what I used. These have mixed reviews mainly because if you have high water pressure they can shut off even if everything is working ok. www.amazon.com/Watts-MFS-SCT16-614W-FloodSafe-Connector/dp/B000KPS9O4/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1518179782&sr=8-1&keywords=watts+toilet+supply+line+flood&dpID=4162tit-e4L&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch&linkCode=ll1&tag=greatwhitenin-20&linkId=04b7a4bb41319d46eec8f7fc73d27d21

@johnathanstevens8436 6 лет назад

Thanks! I tried buying a 12" suredry one off amazon but with the height of the valve on the 3/8 end it was too short for my application so I installed a new 12" fluidmaster one and made sure not to kink the line this time. I'll just replace it in 5 years. I probably bit into the washer on the compression end but it's not leaking. The quick click thing is nice.
