I think in my case it was just a cheaply made piece. The line itself didn't explode, the end blew out of the fitting that screwed on to the bottom of the tank. If I had put the line on with a wrench or pliers I'd take the blame. But, I only put it on by hand and I didn't put the force to it. It worked fine for about 2 years I guess it was and then it started dripping one day. The next day it came apart. I replaced it with the braided style this time. I normally carry a couple of the braided lines in my plumbing box but for some reason I didn't have one handy when I replaced the toilet.
Lucky for us I heard it pop and while it's hard to turn off the shut off while you're being hosed with cold water, I was able to clean up the mess before any damage. ----- Original Message ----- From: Alan & Terrie Robbins To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, January 05, 2010 7:39 PM Subject: RE: [BlindHandyMan] toilet supply line exploded So what does the manufacturer of these lines say?
