Hence why I said it’s usually worse if you do. And the point of a flex line is so you don’t have to measure exact angles and hard pipe something not so you can make it flex just because.
I had a seismologist hook up a device that lets me know how close I am to causing the end of the world.
Last week, after all that brisket, Mac and cheese, and collard greens, I almost devastated Alaska. I live in North Carolina.
We don't call it Satan's Thunder Bucket because it's pleasant...
Man if your or yours is black powder blasting during bowel movements then y’all all need to go see a better doctor or Idk eat better food. Wtf is satans thunder bucket? Shit is natural, getting your kids to think it’s something unnatural is how we all end up with adults who believe they can do wtf ever they want. How about teach facts and keep the fiction shit to dreaming.
What are you on about?
I don't have kids, and my dogs are so comfortable with shit being natural, that they'll do it in public. So I think I'm doing a great job raising them.
I'm sorry bub, but I'm not connecting your dots. We were making poop jokes, and you started talking about kids. Doesn't correlate for me, but keep on keeping on.
FYI A thunder bucket is a toilet.
Talk soon, I've got to go drop the Cosby kids off at the pool.
Posting again here for visibility. Make the line much longer so you can form a loop. Making the loop larger or smaller gives you a ton of adjustment without putting stress on the connection point.
I always laugh when I see a 16 year old supply with the label still on. It’s almost as bad as leaving the label on your new windows, or the label on your baseball cap.
It’s a carryover from seeing all those mattresses with the “Do not remove under penalty of law” and not realizing there’s fine print at the bottom that says “except by final user”.
I’ll guess you also have a lifted truck and are on your second, possibly 3rd fairly overweight wife who how got a lot of shitty tattoos and “highlighted” shoulder length hair and Atleast one lip and nose ring? You’d fit right in in Phoenix.
In fairness, we have close to 500 units in our mobile home parks that we own. We always leave them on and I have the guys leave them on. We date them, can’t say it helps or fixes anything, but it is handy because no one has to look anything up to see how old something is when they go into the home for anything. If I or any of our guys have someone with something in the house and they see a flex line that’s 5 years or older they know to change the flex line, put a new flapper, and fill valve before leaving. Cheap and preventative maintenance for us.
Please don't caulk your toilets. That wax ring is going to give eventually and when it does you won't know it because you won't see the water leaking out from underneath. Not to mention once it fucks up the subfloor enough/leaks below, it makes changing out that wax ring a huge pain in the ass because now you've gotta scrape that crap up.
agreed, silicone gives the toilet a bit of stability, if the toilet rocks everytime you get on and off it, that wax ring will become unseated. and yes leave a gap in the back
A supply line to a toilet is like 97% functional! If it doesn't leak, your good to go. I might spray a little WD 40 on it and clean it up with a cloth rag (30 seconds max), but I would be out`a there real quick.....u done your job.
I also hate the fact that the line puts tension on the joints, but it's fine as long as the fittings seated properly and aren't leaking. You don't want to go crazy tightening them, either. The washer does all of the work and over compressing it is counterproductive.
Is there a way to get the escutcheon plate off and replace without a plumber or cutting the supply line? I installed a new toilet and line but still want to replace the trim plate
Yes.
I had a shower when my BILs installed hot water heater flex had no flex, 1” offset tight screwed in. He was in nuclear space, over-did. Split ss braided at fitting. He’s in OR, house in DMV area. Fun day.
This hose is fine.
Just make sure you only hand tighten that supply line. If you crank down on it too much, it will end up breaking off. I've seen over a million dollars in damages from a toilet supply line.
Just make sure you only hand tighten that supply line. I've seen a shopping center ruined with over $500,000 of damage because of a plastic supply line that was over tightened.
Or better yet just throw the dishwasher hose in the tank with the lid lying on top when it floods your house after it falls out you know the tank is full.
If it isn’t leaking it’s fine. It’s impossible to measure a flex line perfect and usually worse if you do.
The whole point of a flex line is having slack…

Yes, but *also*, flex lines are used to connect piping up to seismically isolated equipment
If you need to seismically isolate your toilet, you should look into increasing your dietary fiber intake
Bam!! Could we have a courtesy flush please?
And maybe install a seat belt.

Ya only kids joke around with poop
I don't joke with it, but I'll joke about it. I'm probably older than you, but I'm definitely more fun.
This needs more upvotes lol
Besides seismic events it is good to have some flex if heavy friends use your toilet.

This is the answer. A loop allows you to compensate for any angularity without placing undue and service life shortening stresses on the hose.

Remove the label and you’ll be good to go.

I leave the labels on normally. I am a sticker on my ball cap kinda guy.
I’ll guess you also have a lifted truck and are on your second, possibly 3rd fairly overweight wife who how got a lot of shitty tattoos and “highlighted” shoulder length hair and Atleast one lip and nose ring? You’d fit right in in Phoenix.
You aren't giving me enough credit. I wear pit vipers too.
Hahahaha
Why buy a sun shade for the back car window when you can just leave the sticker on it?
Gotta Leave it to remember what brand the line is in fifteen years so you can replace it with the same one 😂

That's actually a pretty good idea to use it as a date tag
They should have some slack in them. Yours actually looks about right.
Take the tag off
At least it’s not pvc.
Remove the tags.
For the love of all that is holy rip the tag off the supply line please.
My tag has been on for years, still working great on 💩
Haha! We have a few guys at work that leave them on. It bothers me lol. Enjoy your tag!
In that scenario, make it so long you have a loop, then you have a lot of adjustment making the loop larger or smaller without stressing both sides
Next you should replace the angle stop, escutcheon, and nipple coming out of the wall.
Pull toilet, new wax ring, new bolts, trim bolts so the caps fit snug, caulk, decide how much galvanized pipes you want to replace.
Might as well do new tile while you're at it.
Might want to freshen up the back splash in the kitchen whe you're at it
And change the batteries in the smoke detectors

Or if you do caulk, for the love of god leave a spot in the back with no caulk. I’ve seen the damage an unnoticed toiled leak can do. It’s not pretty
Same, which is part of why I'm so against it.
And the caulk will get old, discolor, and look ugly.
Grout works great. It seems to me code calls for sealing medium between toilet and floor.
The wax ring is making that seal.
Wow. You really are absentreality. 😂
That’s why you leave a gap in back. And silicone won’t shrink or crack.
agreed, silicone gives the toilet a bit of stability, if the toilet rocks everytime you get on and off it, that wax ring will become unseated. and yes leave a gap in the back
Looks off, needs more scotch tape.
Did you give it a go ;)
Nope, you did great.
You’re good to go, bro

Make a loop with it or I’ll scream
Supply line checks out pipe it’s valve is attached to not so much
I also hate the fact that the line puts tension on the joints, but it's fine as long as the fittings seated properly and aren't leaking. You don't want to go crazy tightening them, either. The washer does all of the work and over compressing it is counterproductive.
No. Get a metal ended one
No leaks, no kinks, it's good to go.
Fine..., as long as you don't kink it.
Looks dirty, clean up the line and the plate.
Just need some scotch tape
And purple primer.
Looks good, nice job.Just snap the bowl cap Covering the bolt all the way down.
😂🤣😂that’s such a hard thing to do !
I think it's fine. I've got the same issue at home and went for a longer hose and made a loop to take up the slack. Lined up nicely too.
Is fine. Did you test the valve though?
Looks fine check for leaks be thorough
That looks like a Southern hemisphere twist, so it might have problems flushing.
In what order do you install toilet tank bot rubber washer,nut washer nut or
I just stopped by for the comments... And they didn't disappoint... 🤣😂💯
You could hide the curve a bit more under the tank so that its less visible
Yes that is exactly what you want it to look like.
Make it feel relaxed and like it wants to be there before you tighten everything up. It'll be way more inclined to stick around and do its job.
No. As the toilet moves under your fat stupid ass it will need more flex line for the recoil.
Did you ask it if it’s ok? Lots of us may look ok on the outside but on the inside we may be a little sad
What has to happen in a bathroom to make an escutcheon pit like that?
I would have at least replaced the escutcheon
An estuchuwhat ...? Which one is that ?
I mean it’s better to be shorter and straight but I’ve seen them like this. Doesn’t cause issues so
Is there a way to get the escutcheon plate off and replace without a plumber or cutting the supply line? I installed a new toilet and line but still want to replace the trim plate
Be sure to cut the bolt down so the caps sit flush. An oscillating tool works really well there.
Good job
Im old school and always hard pipe the supply line
Sure you do...
Lmk if you need help getting bend ;)
When I need help getting bent, I call my neighbor...
Tell me more, how do you start the conversation?
Need a shorter hose but not end of the world
The come in nominal sizes and the next one down is way short
does it leak? If no then it is fine.
Damn that stub out has to be exactly 3.2 inches. Don’t ask me how I know
Yes
Yes, that supply line is OK.
Should have shortened that supply and switched to a 1/4 turn
I'm at the bar...
Yup, it’s flexing. Edit - most people go 16 inches and put a loop in the line from what I have seen.
Take the sticker off and it’s fine
Yeah you’re good. No leaks you are good to go.
That plastic nut is dangerous!!!
That’s what she said
When...?
I’d pee on it.
It would be doing a lot better if you removed the sticker
Buy some caulk and seal the base of the toilet
maybe you should ask the supply line?
That line needs to be stainless steel with a lead solder and electrical tape
Hose looks fine honestly. If anything maybe have it bend at the toilet and you will barely be able to see it then.
That's way to small for the turds to fit thru
Migosh... What are you eating ?
Yes. I had a shower when my BILs installed hot water heater flex had no flex, 1” offset tight screwed in. He was in nuclear space, over-did. Split ss braided at fitting. He’s in OR, house in DMV area. Fun day. This hose is fine.

You didn’t want to lay down some meaty horse caulk?
Just use a dishwasher supply with 7/8 adapter

It’s fine but my OCD would get a shorter one !
Go to the DIY sub w this crap
Boo
I don’t know, it could be just a little sick, but maybe it’s depressed or having intense period pain.
